Mortgage Terms Explained: ARM

Money : Mortgages

ARM stands for Adjustable Rate Mortgage.

This is a specific type of loan that charges interest at a set period on a rate that is based on a financial index.

Because the interest rate is based on a standard financial index, then of course it can go both up and down. With this type of mortgage there is normally a limit imposed on how much the interest rate can increase, to protect the person(s) loaned the money from very large increases.
