Fixed vs. Adjustable Rates

If you need a lower payment to be able buy a home, then an adjustable loan could work for you,

as long as you are given a complete picture of where the loan will be in a short time (rate and payment).

If the market is in a stable interest rate situation, you would consider a hybrid fixed and adjustable combination

where the loan term is fixed for 3, 5 or 7 years and then adjusts, when you plan to stay in the home for a short time.

If you plan on living in your home for a longer term, a fixed rate mortgage would be the choice.

  • Can refinance if rates go down

Disadvantages of a Fixed Rate
