Fixed vs. adjustable rate mortgage?

Fixed or adjustable-rate mortgage? Find out which is right for you. Note, with a
fixed-rate mortgage (FRM), monthly payments will be steady, while with an
adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM), payments will vary over time.


Adjustable-rate mortgages typically have an initial fixed rate lower than that of a
comparable fixed-rate mortgage. The initial fixed-rate period is followed by
adjustment intervals.
