A fixed rate mortgage is just what it sounds like; a mortgage whose rate never changes. Many people today are refinancing out of their adjustable rate mortgages and getting a fix rate. The benefit knows what your payment is going to be every month. And in this uncertain world that is worth a lot. When getting a fixed rate you can get a 10 year, 15, 20, 25, or 30 year terms. The shorter the loan term, the lower the interest rate is.

Return to TopAn adjustable rate mortgage, or ARM is one whose rate is fixed for a certain period. After that fixed rate period expires the rate is based on the current rate of a given index (usually LIBOR ). The rate is the index plus a predetermined margin. Although many people blame today’s economic troubles on the proliferation of ARM’s. But if used correctly an ARM can be a great program for many people. Adjustable rate mortgages offer lower rates than fixed rate mortgages. So if you do not plan on keeping the mortgage for 30 years, it may make sense to get an ARM and enjoy the benefits of a lower payment. For help deciding if an ARM is a Better Choice for you call 877-342-4632 to speak to a mortgage professional now, or click here to schedule a free consultation.

This rate is that which is charged by London banks, and is then published and used as the benchmark for banks rates all over the world.LIBOR is compiled by the British Bankers Association (BBA), and is published 11 am each day in conjunction with Reuters. It is comprised from a panel of banks representing countries in each currency.
LIBOR is also used to guides banks in setting rates for adjustable-rate loan, including interest-only mortgages and credit card debt. Lenders typically add a point or two, which is their margin.

Return to TopA home equity line of credit, or HELOC, is an adjustable rate second mortgage. Much like a credit card you are given a maximum limit that you can utilize and you only pay for what you take out. The benefit of a HELOC as compared to a credit card is that it usually offers a much lower interest rate, and it is a true interest only payment. Credit cards require interest plus 2-5% of the principal be paid. Much like fixed rate 2nd mortgages HELOC are very popular with people who want to either save money by paying high interest credit card debt, or want to use their equity to increase the value of their home.
