Fixed-Rate Mortgages (FRM)
The most common type of loan option, the traditional fixed-rate mortgage includes monthly principal and interest payments which can never change during the loan’s lifetime. These are typically amortized and fixed for periods of 15-year or 30-years. Borrowers can also choose between 10-year or 20-year options, and almost and period of time in between. Because the term of the fixed period can dramatically affect your cashflow, it is important to carefully weigh your options before you decide on the term length. At New Vintage Mortgage, we can show you how different term lengths will impact your finances and find an option that best suits your needs.
Adjustable-Rate Mortgages (ARM)
Adjustable-rate mortgages include interest payments and interest rates which will change during the loan’s term, potential on a daily, or monthly basis depending on current market conditions. Typically used to secure unusually low rates at a high market risk, an Adjustable–Rate Mortgage can be the perfect strategy for very specific lending needs often related to high loan balances, short term real estate holding and commercial and investment properties.
Hybrid ARMs Fixed terms from 3 to 15 years.
Hybrid ARM mortgages combine features of both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgages and are also known as fixed-period ARMs.These loans carry a fixed-interest rate for a set period of time before adjusting and are commonly used to secure a lower interest rate than a long term fixed rate program improving cash flow and purchasing power. Making the decision to use an ARM program for your loan can have very beneficial or negative impact on your financial situation. Our loan advisors can provide all available options and guide you to the most effective program to use.
