What is a 5 year Adjustable Rate Mortgage?

For instance, if you take out a 5-year adjustable-rate mortgage, the loan has a fixed rate for five years. Let’s say that the initial rate is 3 percent. Now fast forward five years. The loan’s margin is 1.75% (which never changes) and the index has risen to 2.5%. The fixed-rate of 3 percent would become a variable rate of 4.25 percent.

Do you have to lock in an 8-year fixed-rate mortgage?

You don’t have to lock in an 8-year fixed-rate mortgage. Most mortgage lenders do offer 5-year Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs). The rate is fixed for five years, but then the rate can go up if you still have the loan by then. Keep in mind that the loan isn’t paid off after 5 years — that’s just when the interest rate starts to fluctuate.
