There are a few other important questions you should make sure you have answers to when deciding which type of mortgage is better for you. How long do you plan on staying in
home? How frequently does
adjustable rate mortgage adjust, and when is
adjustment made? What’s
interest rate environment like? Could you still afford your monthly payment if interest rates rise significantly? Do you know
main pros and cons for each type of loan?
