Craig Toberman Featured in Bloomberg on the Attributes of Adjustable Rate Mortgages
Craig Toberman recently spoke to Charlie Wells of Bloomberg in his Newsletter titled “How Do Your Finances Stack Up?”
In the newsletter, Craig provides a suggestion to homeowners trying to sell their home right now.
“When selling your home, keep in mind that you can’t take your mortgage loan with you to your next home. You may be faced with a choice between a traditional fixed-rate mortgage and an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM). ARMs are a good way to lock in a low rate for a fixed period. However, they are risky because once the fixed period expires, your rate could double or even triple. The key to success with an ARM is to try to estimate how long you will be in your new home. If you intend for this to be your “forever home,” a fixed-rate mortgage will most likely be the best path forward.”
