Mortgage Rate Change
Is this a 10 / 1 30 years adjustable rate mortgage works?
I want to do a 10 / 1 30 years adjustable rate Mortgages. It is I believe that the rate remains the same for the first 10 years then adjust. Is this true or can my rate change before the 10 years and if my rate stays the same, it means that my monthly payment will be the same for 10 years, excluding taxes and PMI rises?
I agree with the first answer 10 / 1 ARM would mean that the rate is fixed for the first 10 years, so it will adjust every 1 year after that. I have never heard of a 10 / 1 ARM itself. Some loans are called interest first loans. For example, you would pay interest only for the first five or 10 years, so it would be a fixed-rate loans over the next 30 years. It is typically not a good idea because it only offer payment a few dollars less than a standard 30 years solid. The best is to ensure that you work with a mortgage brokerage that you can trust and have them explain it to you. Its hard to read all the fine legal print when buying a house, but scan through and look for key elements (perhaps highlight them for future reference). When I bought my house I scanned through the documents and verified that the interest was what I expected, verified that it was a fixed rate, and verified what my monthly payments will be (and that was fixed).
