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.
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.

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.
Start with a lower interest rate than a fixed-rate mortgage, reducing your initial monthly payments.
If interest rates remain stable or decline, your payments could remain low or even decrease.
ARMs offer more flexibility than fixed-rate mortgages, allowing you to potentially refinance or sell your home before the rate adjusts.
ARMs can be a suitable option for several types of borrowers, including:
Initial Rate Period
The period (usually 3, 5, 7, or 10 years) during which the interest rate remains fixed.
Adjustment Periods
How often the interest rate can change after the initial period (e.g., annually or every 6 months).
Index
The financial index used to determine rate adjustments (e.g., LIBOR or the U.S. Treasury rate).
Margin
The additional percentage added to the index to calculate your interest rate.
Caps
Limits on how much the interest rate can increase or decrease at each adjustment period and over the life of the loan.
