Adjustable-Rate Loans

Lock in for a low-rate initial term, a mortgage strategy worth exploring if you plan to relocate in less than 10 years.

The best mortgage rates for the short term

If you think you might move within 10 years or want lower monthly payments upfront, consider a 5/1 adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM). You'll lock in a low fixed interest rate for the first five years, along with fixed payments. 

Once the fixed term expires, the rates adjust every year. (That’s the “one” in 5/1.) The variable rate allows for a longer repayment period than with a fixed-rate mortgage, which could result in a lower monthly payment.
