Get the Low Rate Lock In: 15/15 ARM
Turn to Travis Credit Union for this 30-year home loan that comes with a low rate locked in for the first 15 years followed by a 15-year Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM)!
What is an ARM?
An adjustable rate mortgage is a “real estate loan in which the interest rate is periodically … adjusted up or down to reflect the current market rates. ARMs usually specify limits as to how high or low the interest rate can go [and how often]” (Business Dictionary, 2018).
Adjustable rate mortgages are capped so that they do not raise in rate infinitely. There are limits place through the loan period.
Benefits of 15/15 ARM
There are several benefits of our 15/15 ARM. First, you’ll enjoy the stability of a fixed-rate mortgage for 15 years, giving you peace of mind that your mortgage payment is locked during this period. Second, the adjustable rate will only increase once in the 30-year life of the loan and that rate increase is capped.
“Interest rates are always great so I don’t have to compare to other financial institutions.”
The only adjustment would occur at year 16, based on the margin plus the value of the 10-Year Treasury Weekly average with a lifetime cap rate of 6.00% adjustment to the start rate. Therefore, a member with a start rate at 4.375% would have a maximum rate-adjustment lifetime cap as 10.375%.
These caps protects you from inflated interest rates over the life of the loan.
Is the 15/15 ARM Right for you?
Travis Credit Union’s 15/15 ARM is capped so that it can only increase by up to six percentage points during the life of the loan. The great thing about this adjustable rate mortgage is that you always have the option to refinance after 15 years if you can get a better rate.
