ARM Features and Benefits
An Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM) is ideal if you initially want lower monthly payments. After the initial loan period, your rates can adjust based on several factors. An ARM is best suited for borrowers who plan to own their home for a short period of time or have a significantly larger income in the future.
Even if you already have an ARM, there may be an opportunity to refinance your loan for a better rate.
