As interest rates are adjusted so is the borrower’s monthly payment. While interest rates on ARM loans are generally lower than fixed rate loans they can eventually become higher.

Homeowners looking to decrease their interest rate may consider refinancing.  A refinance calls for the homeowner to obtain another mortgage loan.  Those funds are then used to pay off the original mortgage loan and the homeowner is then bound by the terms of the new mortgage.  Depending on your situation, a refinance loan could be a great option.  Along with decreasing your interest rate, refinance loans can also help you switch from an ARM to a FRM, and in some cases, reduce your loan term.
