Chances are, you'll want to improve your credit and obtain a better loan | |||||||||
| Fixed Rate Mortgages | Two and three year fixed rate mortgages provide the security of a fixed loan payment and relatively low, fixed interest rate for the first two or three years. For most people trying to improve their credit, two to three years is plenty of time. After two or three years, these loans convert to ARM loans. | Two and three year fixed rate mortgages convert to ARM loans at the end of the fixed rate period. Rates on ARMs can increase. Chances are, you'll want to improve your credit and obtain a different loan before the two or three years are up. | |||||||||
