Are Adjustable Rate Mortgages Right for You in a High Interest Rate Environment?


Listen Later

Are short-term savings using an adjustable rate mortgage worth the risk of rate hikes? In this podcast, we cover how adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) work, how they differ from fixed-rate mortgages, and the reality of their adjustment periods. 

James uses a real-life scenario to dive into the comparison of adjustable and fixed-rate mortgages. Learn how to plan for the worst-case scenarios and evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of each option. 

Questions answered:
Is it better to get a fixed rate mortgage, or is it better to get an adjustable rate mortgage? 
What is the risk versus reward?
