About our Mortgage Rate Tables: The above mortgage loan information is provided to, or obtained by, Bankrate. Some lenders provide their mortgage loan terms to Bankrate for advertising purposes and Bankrate receives compensation from those advertisers (our "Advertisers"). Other lenders' terms are gathered by Bankrate through its own research of available mortgage loan terms and that information is displayed in our rate table for applicable criteria. In the above table, an Advertiser listing can be identified and distinguished from other listings because it includes a "Next" button that can be used to click-through to the Advertiser's own website or a phone number for the Advertiser.

Availability of Advertised Terms: Each Advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its own advertised terms. Bankrate cannot guaranty the accuracy or availability of any loan term shown above. However, Bankrate attempts to verify the accuracy and availability of the advertised terms through its quality assurance process and requires Advertisers to agree to our Terms and Conditions and to adhere to our Quality Control Program.

Loan Terms for Bankrate.com Customers: Advertisers may have different loan terms on their own website from those advertised through Bankrate.com. To receive the Bankrate.com rate, you must identify yourself to the Advertiser as a Bankrate.com customer. This will typically be done by phone so you should look for the Advertisers phone number when you click-through to their website. In addition, credit unions may require membership.

Loans Above $726,200 May Have Different Loan Terms: If you are seeking a loan for more than $726,200, lenders in certain locations may be able to provide terms that are different from those shown in the table above. You should confirm your terms with the lender for your requested loan amount.

Taxes and Insurance Excluded from Loan Terms: The loan terms (APR and Payment examples) shown above do not include amounts for taxes or insurance premiums. Your monthly payment amount will be greater if taxes and insurance premiums are included.

Adjustable-rate mortgages may not have the same popularity they did a decade or two ago. Fixed-rate loans are much more competitive now thanks to historically low interest rates across the board, but they can still be the right fit for some borrowers. If you’re considering an ARM, here are the key things to know.

What is a 10/1 ARM loan?

The name tells you basically everything you need to know, and here’s how to read it: The number before the slash is the period that your interest rate is fixed, and the number after the slash is how often the interest rate changes after that. So, 10/1 means your rate is fixed for the first 10 years, and then adjusts once every year after that.

How does a 10/1 ARM work?

Adjustable-rate mortgages usually start with lower interest rates than their fixed-rate counterparts, so they can enable homeowners to qualify for a bigger loan because the payments will be less, at least in the beginning. Because 10/1 ARM will begin to see annual adjustments to the interest rate after 10 years, you’ll want to make sure you understand the changes that are coming after the first decade. When the adjustments start, may see a jump in how much interest accrues, how much you owe and how much you have to pay every month.

When should you consider a 10/1 ARM?

Adjustable-rate mortgages are usually best for people who are only planning to hold them for the initial term. So, if you’re looking to move within 10 years, or know you’ll be able to refinance to lock in your interest rate in that time, a 10/1 ARM could be the right mortgage for you.
