What are the benefits of a OptionLoan
ARM?
This loan is ideal for those who are self-employed, anticipate higher income in the coming
years, or wish to maximize their tax write-offs for mortgage interest. An Adjustable Rate
Mortgage (ARM), it offers a super-low introductory rate and is tied to a very stable
index, meaning your rate may not fluctuate as much.
The
OptionLoan
ARM is also about choices. Each month you can
choose from three flexible payment options:
- Minimum Payment - The lowest payment option, which saves you the most cash.
- Interest-Only
Option - Keeps your payment low but still pays all interest due.
- Fully Amortized Payment - Reduces your principal and will pay off your loan on a 30-year
term.
How does it work?
The OptionLoan
ARM is tied to your choice of indexes:
including Cost of
Funds index and a 12-month average of Treasury securities with a constant
maturity of one-year (the 12 MAT index). As this index moves, your interest rate moves.
Generally, your payment cannot increase more than 7.5% each year. After a period of five
years, or if your loan balance should exceed 110% of the homes value at closing,
your unpaid loan balance will be recast (recalculated and reamortized) for the remaining
term of the loan. There are risks involved with the OptionLoan
ARM. If the minimum monthly
payment is less than the interest rate charged on the loan, your loan balance will
increase and could ultimately be higher than the value of your home. To help you further
understand how the OptionLoan
ARM works, we have outlined the parameters, in the tables
below.
