Flexibility and Potential Savings for Savvy Homebuyers
In a dynamic financial landscape, an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM) offers flexibility and potential savings for those seeking a home loan. At The Onyx Group, we understand that your financial situation and goals may evolve over time. Our ARM solutions provide an opportunity to capitalize on lower initial interest rates and navigate changing market conditions with confidence.
What is a Fixed-Rate Mortgage?
A fixed-rate mortgage is a type of home loan where the interest rate remains the same throughout the entire loan term, typically 15 or 30 years. This means your monthly principal and interest payments remain consistent, providing financial predictability and peace of mind.

Who Needs an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage?
ARMs can be a suitable option for several types of borrowers, including:
Short-Term Homeowners
Planning to sell or refinance their home within a few years and want to benefit from the lower initial interest rate.
Those Expecting Increased Income
If you anticipate your income to rise in the future, an ARM could be a good choice as you may be able to afford higher payments later.
Investors and Flippers
ARMs can be attractive for short-term investment properties or fix-and-flip projects due to their lower initial payments.
Market-Fluent Borrowers
Individuals who understand the potential risks and rewards associated with changing interest rates.
