FHA Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (FHA ARM)

An adjustable-rate FHA loan might be a smart choice for your borrowers, as they usually feature a lower initial interest rate than a fixed-rate loan.*

This can be a major benefit, especially if:

• Your borrower expects to move in the next few years. An ARM may be better, as the interest rate could be lower than a fixed-rate loan.
• Your borrower needs a higher loan amount. Since an ARM begins with a lower interest rate for the first five to 10 years, your borrower may qualify for a larger loan amount since the initial payments will be lower than for a fixed-rate mortgage.
