An Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) means the initial interest rate is fixed for an introductory period before adjusting on a predetermined basis. Our 5/1 ARM is fixed for 5 years, then adjusts annually and may increase based on a market index, but can’t go above the predetermined adjustment cap. Our 5/5 ARM and 10/5 ARM are fixed for 5 years and 10 years respectively, then adjusts every 5 years and may increase based on a market index, but can’t go above the predetermined adjustment cap.
No Closing Costs simply means the customer is not charged for many of the “closing costs” of the mortgage. Closing costs range from $1,800.00 - $2,500.00, but are waived. Closing costs may include fees such as title insurance, abstract update, non-escrow, credit report, loan processing, appraisal, attorney fees and other expenses that are non-recurring (one time) charges at the beginning of the loan process. Please see our schedule of fees for details. However, under unusual circumstances, the borrower may pay some fees. The mortgage loan account must be kept open for a minimum of 2 years to avoid paying closing costs.
5/1 ARM EXAMPLE: A $100,000.00 5/1 ARM financed for 30 years at an interest rate of 6.875% with no closing costs would yield an APR* (Annual Percentage Rate) of 6.882% and 359 payments of $665.30, 359 payments of $656.93, 298 payments at $649.51 and 1 final payment $646.01
5/5 ARM EXAMPLE: A $100,000.00 5/5 ARM financed for 30 years at an interest rate of 7.000% with no closing costs would yield an APR* (Annual Percentage Rate) of 7.008% and 359 payments of $665.30, 239 payments of $657.83 and 1 final payment $659.98
10/5 ARM EXAMPLE: A $100,000.00 10/5 ARM financed for 30 years at an interest rate of 7.250% with no closing costs would yield an APR* (Annual Percentage Rate) of 7.212% and 120 payments of $682.18, 239 payments of $662.70 and 1 final payment of $661.36
