VA ARM versus fixed rate? what's best please

Adjustable rate mortgages are a great tool in my opinion if you know for sure you are going to be moving... So for example, you can get a lower rate on a 5-year fixed, then becomes adjustable loan versus a 30-year fixed. If you know you are moving in 3-years, there is zero risk.

I can understand your concern about adjustable rates. Typically when people look at adjustable rate mortgages, they consider a program where the rate is fixed for a period of time. This will allow you to take advantage of lower rates and never see the adjustment. You can call me at 800-536-0233 or find me at www.fastclosingnow.com.

An adjustable rate is a great option for you if you are absolutely sure that you will not be keeping the home for longer than a specified amount of time (depending on if you go with a 5/1, 7/1, etc). If there is any doubt that you may be in the home longer that the initial period, my advice would be to get a fixed rate. If you are absolutely sure that you will be moving with that initial period, my advice would be to take advantage of the lower rate with an ARM. Hope this helps! Have a great day.

With a VA loan, the Arm rates can only adjust 1% per year after the initial fixed period, so if you didn't end up moving after 3 years, the most your rate would adjust on the 4th year, would be 1% (up or down). However, you would benefit from the lower rate the first 3 years. There are also 5 year arms available as well, with a 30 year amortization.
