About Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Options
An ARM is an Adjustable Rate Mortgage. Unlike fixed-rate mortgages that have an interest rate that remains the same for the life of the loan, the interest rate on an ARM will change periodically. The initial interest rate of an ARM is typically lower then that of a fixed-rate mortgage, consequently, an ARM maybe a good option to consider if you plan to own a rental house for only a few years.
However, today’s fixed rates are so low, it’s extremely rare that we’d recommend an ARM to you. If you are only going to buy an investment house and own it for a few years, skip it! You won’t make up for the closing costs, even with the lower initial rate of an ARM.
