Low initial interest rates make ARMs attractive. Planning to move in a few years? You'll save a bundle if you sell before any rate increase can kick in. In it for the long haul? The lower monthly payments at the outset might help you qualify for a bigger loan.
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.
