    We purchased right before ar the beginning of the rate increases. A 10 year ARM. Hoping the rates stabilize by that 10 year mark or things might get expensive for a few years.

      Why anyone would ever do an arm is beyond me.

        Because your realtor and your lender–professional salespeople who stand to make much profit off you–make it sound like a really good idea. Unfortunately, people don’t do a lot of their own research and instead think that their chatty, bubbly realtor is their friend that gives good advice.

          Yep! I argued the math with a realtor who continued to regurgitate the same bullets over and over again.

          I honestly see realtors are car salesmen for houses.

        If I’m going to pay off the loan before the adjustable rate either way, I might as well get the plan with the lowest rate.

      Purchased at like 4.1% but absolutely refused an ARM. We have a fixed rate and absolutely nothing would ever make me get an ARM.
