Adjustable
Rate Mortgages
(ARM)
Adjustable
rate
mortgages, or
ARM, is much
different from
a traditional
fixed rate
mortgage
because the
interest rate
fluctuates
during the
life of the
loan in
accordance
with movements
in the index
rate.
Adjustable
rate mortgages
generally have
lower initial
interest rates
than fixed
rate mortgages
and can end up
saving you a
substantial
sum if rates
are to remain
steady or
drop. On the
other hand,
when financial
markets are
unstable,
adjustable
rate mortgages
can increase
with little
notice.
