Adjustable Rate Mortgages

What Is (ARMs)?

An adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) from Integrity Mortgage Co may help you save money on your loan, especially if you’ll be living in the home for only a few years.

Several types of ARMs are available — the most common being 3/1, 5/1, 7/1 and 10/1 ARMs. With an ARM, the first number represents the period during which your interest rate will be fixed. The second number represents how often your interest rate can change after the fixed period expires. So, in a 30-year 5/1 ARM, your interest rate would be the same for the first five years of your loan. After those five years, your interest rate can increase or decrease each year for the remaining 25 years of the mortgage.

However, you can set caps on your ARM to protect against these increases. A periodic cap limits how much your rate can adjust at specified adjustment dates. A lifetime cap limits how much your rate can increase over the life of your loan. A payment cap limits how much your monthly payment can increase with each adjustment.

Eligibility

You must have sufficient income and credit history to qualify for an adjustable rate mortgage.
