5 Year FHA ARM Programs
FHA loans have become increasingly more popular with first time home buyers who are seeking to put less money into their downpayments. If you see youself in a similar situation and only plan on being in your starter home for 3-7 years, you may want to speak with an American Bank mortgage professional about the pros and cons of a 5/1 FHA ARM loan. With these products, borrowers pay on low introductory interest rates which lasts for the first 60 months of the mortgages. After the first five years pass, the loans then begin to adjust up or down based up the loans' margins, caps, and the indexed which they are tied to. Because of the fact that the loans will adjust, 5 year FHA mortgages do carry more risk than their fixed rate counterparts. Still, for the right indivual, a 5 year ARM might be the perfect choice.
