Frequently Asked Questions

An ARM is a home loan with an interest rate that is fixed for an initial period (3, 5, or 7 years) and then adjusts periodically based on market conditions. This usually means lower initial payments compared to a traditional fixed-rate loan, making it a great option if you plan to sell, refinance, or pay off your loan before the fixed-rate period ends.
