Common Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM) Questions
Is An ARM Right For Me?
For some homebuyers, ARMs may make more sense. First-time home buyers may want to purchase a house with an ARM from Kurv Loans and sell it before the fixed-rate period ends to achieve lower mortgage payments.
Do ARM Loans Save You Money?
They can; however, you are at the mercy of the market. In general, ARM loans have a lower initial monthly payment than other loan types during the fixed phase of the loan. If you plan on living in your home for only a few years and market rates remain low, you could save a chunk of change.
Can I Refinance An ARM?
Yes! If your financial circumstances change, you can refinance your ARM into a fixed-rate mortgage to regain the predictability that ARMs lack.
