Benefits of Adjustable Loans

For clients who anticipate a significant increase in income or property value in the next several years, plan short-term stays in their home, or would like to significantly lower their mortgage payments, an adjustable rate mortgage loan may be the right option. As the name implies, ARMs have interest rates that change at a pre-determined interval.

  • 3/1, 5/1, 7/1, and 10/1 ARMs (Adjustable Rate Mortgage) available
  • The rate is fixed for only the first 3, 5, 7, or 10 years depending on the chosen loan program and then adjusts annually for the remaining term based on market conditions.
  • Monthly payments are based on a 30 year repayment schedule.
  • Starting interest rate may be lower than fixed rate loan
  • Potential payment savings can be used to pay down other debt
  • Great option for clients who intend to refinance or sell home in a certain period of time

Adjustable Rate Mortgages: Lower Payments Now, Flexibility for Tomorrow

Staring at sky-high monthly mortgage payments that stretch your budget to the breaking point? Fixed rate mortgages with today's elevated interest rates can cost hundreds more per month than you'd like to pay, leaving less money for the things that matter most to your family.

What if you could slash those payments right now while keeping your options open for the future?

Your Lower Payment Solution

Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs) start with interest rates significantly below fixed rates, delivering savings of $100-$200 per month on a typical home loan. That's real money you could invest, save, or use to improve your quality of life right away. Here's how it works: Your rate stays locked for an initial period—usually 3, 5, 7, or 10 years—giving you complete payment predictability during that time. After that initial period, it adjusts based on market conditions. But here's the key insight: most homeowners refinance or move before the adjustment even kicks in, allowing them to capture all the savings without experiencing any rate changes.


Perfect for Smart Homebuyers

ARMs make exceptional sense if you plan to move within 3-10 years, expect income growth in the coming years, or want maximum buying power now. They're also ideal for buyers who prefer lower initial payments to accelerate equity building and can handle potential rate changes down the road.

At Educated Mortgage, we help you determine if an ARM aligns with your specific timeline and goals through personalized analysis.


Built-In Protections Give You Peace of Mind

Modern ARMs include important safeguards that prevent payment shock. Rate adjustment caps limit how much rates can increase at each adjustment period, while lifetime caps protect you from extreme market swings. You'll receive clear disclosure of worst-case scenarios and predictable adjustment schedules, so there are never any surprises.
