π What is an Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM)? π‘π°
An Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) is a home loan with an interest rate that adjusts over time. Unlike a Fixed Rate Mortgage, where the interest rate stays the same for the life of the loan, an ARM typically starts with a lower fixed rate for a set period (e.g., 5, 7, or 10 years). After that, the rate can fluctuate annually based on market conditions.
