Traditional ARMs (Adjustable Rate Mortgages)
Our Traditional ARMs offer you all the features of a fixed-rate loan combined with the value of an adjustable rate mortgage. Start with an initial low fixed rate for 1, 3, 5, 7 or 10 years. The rate will adjust annually. Periodic rate caps determine the maximum allowable increase or decrease when the rate changes, and a lifetime cap determines the maximum allowable increase in rate over the life of the loan.
