Low initial interest rates make Adjustable-Rate Mortgages (ARM) an attractive option for many homebuyers. If you are planning to move in a few years, you could save a significant amount of money by selling before a rate increase kicks in. If you are in it for the long haul, lower initial monthly payments can help you qualify for a larger loan today.
If you're looking for a low-cost, short-term mortgage but want the flexibility to keep the loan longer, a Michigan Schools and Government Credit Union ARM might be right for you. It's important to know that Adjustable-Rate Mortgages have caps that protect you from big increases in interest rates. For more information, contact our mortgage experts.
