Mortgage FAQ'S What is an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM)? A type of mortgage instrument in which the interest rate adjusts periodically according to a predetermined index and margin. The adjustment results in the mortgage payment either increasing or decreasing. A 1-year ARM, for example, will have an initial interest rate for 1 year and then adjust on the second year, and continue to adjust annually over the life of the loan. With an ARM loan, you typically get a lower starting rate in exchange for taking a risk that rates may rise in the future. There is also a cap on how much the interest rate can go up or down.
