An adjustable-rate mortgage may seem a little complicated. But once you know the basics, you'll find an ARM can help you buy a home – now rather than later.
With an ARM, you get a lower interest rate and monthly payment for the first few years. After that, the rate gets adjusted periodically, and your payment may go up – or down.

With an adjustable-rate mortgage, you can use a mortgage calculator to see what your monthly payment is likely to be during the initial, fixed period of your loan and what it could be after your rate starts adjusting. Keep in mind that your rate and payment may go up or down when your rate adjusts. Hopefully, it will go down!
