Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan

What are Adjustable Rate Mortgages?

An adjustable rate loan offers lower initial interest rates and monthly payments, making it a good option for those willing to accept the risk of rising interest rates and not staying in their home long-term. Good for borrowers expecting income growth who can afford higher monthly payments if interest rates increase.

How adjustable rate mortgages work

  • The interest rate is not fixed and can change over time, usually annually.
  • The interest rate is tied to an index, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the Cost of Funds Index (COFI).
  • The interest rate can go up or down based on changes in the index.
  • The interest rate is recalculated on a set schedule, such as annually or monthly.
  • The new interest rate is based on the current index plus a margin, which is a set percentage determined by the lender.
  • The rate and payment can change over the life of the loan.
  • There is a cap on how much the interest rate can increase or decrease over time.
  • There is often a lower initial interest rate and monthly payment compared to a fixed rate loan.
