For instance, a 5/1 ARM has a fixed rate of interest for the very first 5 years of the loan. After the preliminary five-year period, the interest rate and payment may change every 12 months. The interest rate can't increase or decrease more than 2 percent at one adjustment and can't increase more than 5 percent over the life of the loan. To find out more, please reach out to us.
