The Mortgage Brothers Show

This is a question we get a lot. So, we figured it’d be good to do a podcast and a post to get you oriented when you start trying to sort out how to get a mortgage if you have student loans. As always, feel free to give us a call at (602)-535-2171. You’re more than welcome to skip the post and get right to asking us for help. Let’s dive in.

An Adjustable Rate Mortgage’s interest rate changes after the fixed period expires. Typically, ARMs are 30-years loans, meaning that you’ll pay back the money you borrowed over the span of 30 years. At the beginning of the loan, you’ll start with a lower rate than average mortgage interest rates. The low rate will stay the same for a period of time, commonly 5, 7, or 10 years. After the fixed-rate period ends, your interest rate will adjust up or down based on an index.
