Fixed Rate Mortgage is the most widely accepted mortgage solution offered by the company. Here the interest rate is fixed for a period of a maximum of 30 years and the loan amount is repaid during that period. The advantage of this form of mortgage rates is that the entire liability is known well in advance and you can plan your finances accordingly. Another advantage is that as the monthly installments are fixed over a longer period of time, they may seem to be on higher side initially. However as your financial position improves, the repayment installment becomes just a small portion of your total outgo. Fixed Rate Balloon Mortgage is the scheme where the rate is fixed for an initial period of 7 or 5 years depending upon the option chosen and thereafter it is converted to a new fixed rate for the remaining 23 years. Adjustable Rate Mortgage is where the rate is fixed for a period of 10/7/5 or 3 years depending upon the plan chosen by you initially and thereafter the loan becomes an adjustable mortgage rate loan. Again here also you may gain or lose depending upon at what mortgage rate, you had originally negotiated the loan. In case of yearly Treasury ARM (1 YR T-Bill), the mortgage rate is fixed for a period of 1 year. Thereafter the mortgage is adjusted based on the 1-year treasury index.
