Is an Adjustable Rate Mortgage right for you?

An adjustable-rate mortgage, or ARM, has a variable interest rate. The interest rate on a LIBOR
ARM varies with changes in the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate, or LIBOR. Which would be better for you?

A LIBOR ARM may be for you if you:

  • are looking to minimize your monthly payment.
  • are seeking to lower your interest rate and monthly cash flow.
  • want to take advantage of the equity in your home. This is a good refinance program for those who want to consolidate consumer debt such as credit cards.
Any ARM is a good idea if:
  • ARM interest levels are significantly below fixed-rate interest charges.
  • you anticipate a higher income in the future.
  • you won't be staying the the house for more than five years (especially if you have a locked-in rate for the first three, five, or seven years).
ARMs are NOT a good idea if:
  • initial rates are comparable to fixed-rate loan rates.
  • high closing costs offset the low interest rate.
