5-year ARM loans
5/1 ARMs generally provide the lowest interest rates and monthly payments during the initial rate period. These loans are ideal for borrowers who plan to move or refinance within the five-year period.
7-year ARM loans
7/1 ARMs provide seven years of predictable monthly principal and interest payments at a low interest rate before any adjustments are made. If you expect to move or refinance within the seven-year period, this may be a good option.
10-year ARM loans
10/1 ARMs are increasingly popular as they combine significant savings for the initial rate period with longer protection from market-based interest rate fluctuations.
