who is this for? Customers looking to purchase or refinance a property at an initial rate that is lower than fixed rate mortgages making the payments more affordable. If you want a lower initial interest rate to help you qualify for a larger loan or if you plan on owning your home for a short time, this is for you. But be aware, your monthly payment can be adjusted up or down after the initial fixed-rate period. If the amount you are applying for is $417,000 or more, you need a Jumbo ARM.
 
how does it work?
  • The rate is fixed for the 3-year, 5-year or 7-year period
  • After the initial fixed-rate period, the rate can be adjusted up or down depending on the one-year LIBOR rate (this is the “Index”)
  • After the initial fixed-rate period, the rate can go up or down by as much as 5% the first year and 2% the following years (this is the “Periodic Cap”) plus a margin of 3.25%.
  • The adjusted rate won’t ever go higher or lower than the initial fixed rate plus or minus 5% (this is the “Lifetime Cap”)
 
what else should I know?
  • The loan is paid over a 30-year period (this is the “Amortization Period”)
  • To lower your monthly payment and qualify for a larger loan, a 40-year Amortization Period option is available
  • If you think rates may go up between the time you apply and your loan closing date, you can lock-in your rate for 45 days by paying an amount equal to .5% of your loan amount (this is the “Rate Lock Fee”); the Rate Lock Fee is returned to you at your loan closing
  • You can lower your initial rate by paying 1% or 2% of your loan amount (these are “Points”)
