  Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loan FAQ People typically ask us
  
  An adjustable-rate mortgage, or ARM, is a kind of mortgage that starts with a low interest rate-typically listed below the market rate-that may be changed periodically over the life of the loan. As a result of these changes, your month-to-month payments might also go up or down. Some loan providers call this a variable-rate mortgage.
  
  Rate of interest for adjustable-rate mortgages depend on a number of factors. First, lending institutions look to a major mortgage index to determine the existing market rate. Typically, an adjustable-rate mortgage will begin with a teaser rates of interest set below the marketplace rate for an amount of time, such as 3 or 5 years. After that, the rates of interest will be a mix of the existing market rate and the loan's margin, which is a preset number that does not change.
  
  For example, if your margin is 2.5 and the market rate is 1.5, your rate of interest would be 4% for the length of that adjustment duration. Many adjustable-rate mortgages likewise consist of caps to restrict how much the rate of interest can alter per change period and over the life of the loan.
  
  With an ARM loan, your rates of interest is repaired for an initial period of time, and then it's changed based on the terms of your loan.
  
  When comparing various kinds of ARM loans, you'll discover that they generally include 2 numbers separated by a slash-for example, a 5/1 ARM. These numbers assist to describe how adjustable mortgage rates work for that kind of loan. The first number defines the length of time your interest rate will remain fixed. The 2nd number defines how typically your rate of interest might change after the fixed-rate period ends.
  
  Here are a few of the most common kinds of ARM loans:
  
  5/1 ARM: 5 years of fixed interest, then the rate changes once annually
  5/6 ARM: 5 years of fixed interest, then the rate changes every 6 months
  7/1 ARM: 7 years of set interest, then the rate adjusts once each year
  7/6 ARM: 7 years of set interest, then the rate changes every 6 months
  10/1 ARM: ten years of set interest, then the rate changes as soon as annually
  10/6 ARM: 10 years of fixed interest, then the rate changes every 6 months
  It is very important to note that these 2 numbers don't indicate for how long your full loan term will be. Most ARMs are 30-year mortgages, but buyers can also select a shorter term, such as 15 or 20 years.
  
  Changes to your interest rate depend on the terms of your loan. Many adjustable-rate mortgages are adjusted annual, but others may change regular monthly, quarterly, semiannually or once every 3 to 5 years. Typically, the interest rate is repaired for a preliminary time period before modification durations begin. For example, a 5/6 ARM is an adjustable-rate mortgage that's fixed for the first 5 years before becoming adjustable two times a year-once every 6 months-afterward.
  
  Yes. However, depending on the terms of your loan, you might be charged a pre-payment charge.
  
  Many debtors pick to pay an extra amount towards their mortgage monthly, with the objective of paying it off early. However, unlike with fixed-rate mortgages, extra payments won't reduce the term of your ARM loan. It could reduce your month-to-month payments, however. This is since your payments are each time the rate of interest changes. For example, if you have a 5/1 ARM with a 30-year term, your interest rate will adjust for the first time after 5 years. At that point, your monthly payments will be recalculated over the next 25 years based upon the amount you still owe. When the rate of interest is changed once again the next year, your payments will be recalculated over the next 24 years, and so on. This is an essential distinction in between set- and adjustable-rate mortgages, and you can speak to a mortgage banker for more information.
