HYBRID ARMs (FIXED PERIOD ARMs)

   

 

Hybrid ARMs or Fixed period ARMs allow you to secure the interest rate for a certain period of time before the initial interest rate changes. The payments are fixed for the predetermined fixed period. At the end of that period, your interest rate adjusts every year like a regular ARM according to a financial index (that's why some lenders call them 3/1, 5/1, 7/1 and 10/1 ARMs)
    1. Benefits of Hybrid ARMs:
      1. The interest rate is lower than for a 30-year fixed rate loan,
      2. You may qualify for higher loan amount ,
      3. More stability than short term ARMs,
      4. Rates and payments may go down if rates improve .
    • Warning for Hybrid ARMs:
      • Potential for high payments if rates go up.

      Who should consider a Hybrid ARM:

      • Buyers who expect their income to rise in the next few years and want a low start rate for now,
      • Buyers who need a lower initial rate to afford to buy the home they want,
      • Buyers who like the advantage of a fixed rate even they get it only for a period of time.
