An ARM loan offers an introductory period with reduced interest rates, giving borrowers greater short-term affordability and strategic financial flexibility.
An adjustable-rate mortgage is a home loan with an interest rate that starts fixed for an initial period before adjusting periodically, based on market conditions. Many borrowers choose ARM loans for their lower introductory rates, which can significantly reduce early monthly payments.
ARMs are ideal for buyers planning to relocate, refinance, or sell their home before the first adjustment period—or for those who prefer lower upfront costs while maintaining long-term flexibility. With various term structures and adjustment timelines, ARM loans offer tailored options for strategic financial planning.
