You may want to consider an Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM)

 

A 5/6 Month ARM

  • Lower interest rates and a fixed payment for 5 years means you get the best of both worlds with our 5/1 Mortgage.
  • If you are in the D.R.O.P. program and are thinking about refinancing your mortgage, this may be the loan for you!
  • A 5/6 Month ARM s an adjustable rate mortgage that has a fixed rate for the  of the loan.
  • The first five* years of the loan feel like a fixed rate loan.
  • Once this period has been reached, the loan will begin to adjust every year.
  • This is not a “discount loan” where you are paying a lower rate than market requiring an upward adjustment with each change period.
  • If market rates are unchanged then no adjustment in the rate or payment occurs.

 

*Payment Example based on a $200,000:  

  • A 5/6 Month ARM loan that has a fixed rate for the first five years at 7.125% APR* would have monthly payments of $1347.44.  
  • Payments will be subject to change on year 6.  
  • This payment example does not include mortgage insurance premiums and taxes.  
  • Actual obligations will be higher.

 

  • If rates do change then there are caps that prevent the payment from rising too fast.
  • There is a maximum adjustment cap of 2 percent per adjustment and a cap of 5 percent for the life of the loan.
  • After the first 5 years the adjustments will be once a year and the rate can either increase, or decrease, depending on economic market conditions.  Closing costs typically range between $900 – $3,000.

 

5/6 Month ARM Benefits

  • You may want to use a 5/6 Month ARM if you intend to live in your home for less than five years or if you intend on paying down your mortgage once you are out of the D.R.O.P.
  • By choosing this type of mortgage, your payment will be lower since the initial five-year interest rate is less than a conventional 30 year loan rate.
  • If the home is not sold before the five year fixed portion of the loan is reached, you can either refinance or keep the loan as an adjustable rate until you sell the house.
