ARM Refinancing

Rates are still at historic lows and most homeowners can benefit from a refinance whether it be a debt consolidation or ARM to fixed rate.

It's important to be informed about your adjustable rate mortgage. Many homeownwers are painfully unaware of the terms and conditions of their most important financial instrument - their mortgage. All of the information that you need to know exactly what is going on with your mortgage loan is contained in the note. If you have trouble reading or understanding the note, call me. I will be glad to help you review it and know exactly when any changes are taking place and what will happen when they do.

It's a good idea to call a mortgage professional to discuss refinancing options at least two months before your current mortgage is scheduled to adjust.

After the initial adjustment, your ARM can adjust every 6 months to 1 year again and again, depending on your loan program.

Many adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) also have a pre-payment penalty. The adjustment period usually begins at the same time the prepayment penalty period ends.

Some Adjustable Rate Mortgages adjust every month.
