Choose the Right Financing for You
fixed Rate loaN
A fixed-rate loan offers stable monthly payments throughout the loan term, usually between 15 and 30 years. This option is ideal for those who plan to stay in the property long-term (over 7 years), as it provides consistent payments and predictable costs.
Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARMS)
ARMs offer lower initial interest rates than fixed loans, making them an attractive option for those who plan to sell or refinance in the near future. However, be mindful of potential rate changes and understand the terms, such as the index and adjustment intervals.
Intermediate ARMs (Hybrid Loans)
Hybrid loans provide a fixed interest rate for the first 3, 5, 7, or 10 years. After this period, the rate adjusts based on the market, typically every 6 months or year. This option balances stability with the potential for lower rates in the initial years.
