In order to provide a more accurate comparison, it is important to consider future rate adjustments. If the "holding period" extends beyond the initial or interest-only period of the loan, you will need to consider the Adjustment Interest Rate.
2
The pre-populated Initial Adjustment Interest Rate is calculated as follows:
3-Year Term ARM Conforming - 1 year LIBOR index plus a margin of 2.25%
3-Year Term ARM Non-Conforming - 6 month LIBOR index plus a margin of 2.25%
5/7/10 Term ARM - 1 year LIBOR index plus a margin of 2.25%
3
Manual rate scenarios will consider product specific periodic and lifetime rate caps and will make rate adjustments only at product specific adjustment intervals (i.e., every 6 months).
