Foreclosure Arms
What’s with all these foreclosures due to adjust ARMS?
I am confused by all the media that says people can’t afford their homes becuase they chose an adjustable ARM for a mortgage. Did they not ask what their payment could jump to? I understans some thought they could re-finance and now can’t. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Homeowners are not well informed about how ARMs work. The interest rate may start out low for a temporary time, then after that, it will change. For example a 3/1 ARM mean that the initial interest rate remain fix for 3 years and after that, the interest rate adjusts every year. For many homeowners, when a mortgage payment jump from $800/month to $900/month, they can’t afford it. Therefore, they have to foreclose the house.
People could refinance, but its going to cost them. For many lenders, the homeowner have to pay upfront fees that costs well over thousands of dollars. Some lenders include the fee in part of the loan. Either way, it cost money to refinance.
The worst way to sign up for a mortgage loan is not ask any questions and not doing research to find out how the mortgage works. Most people focus on what is the current interest rate, rather than figure out whether this type of mortgage is for them or not.
