Unlike traditional fixed-rate mortgages, ARMs feature an interest rate that can vary over the life of the loan. Often referred to as variable-rate or floating mortgages, ARMs offer an exciting opportunity for savvy borrowers.
Here's how it works: the interest rate on an ARM is tied to an index, and it may fluctuate periodically. This means that as the index changes, your interest rate will adjust accordingly.
But don't worry, ARMs come with built-in protection. They often include rate caps that limit how much the rate can increase at any given time or in total. This feature provides peace of mind and ensures you can handle potential rate increases.
An ARM can be a smart financial move if you have a specific time frame in mind for keeping the loan and feel confident about managing potential rate adjustments. It's important to carefully consider your financial goals and plans before choosing an ARM.
