Portfolio ARMs stay on the lender's own balance sheet instead of going to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. SRK CAPITAL typically finds these lenders can approve exceptions in-house without waiting on outside investor sign-off.
SRK CAPITAL closes Portfolio ARM loans in 17 to 21 days, or 10 days when expedited. SRK CAPITAL typically underwrites this program around credit, income, and reserves, since the lender carries the risk itself.
04
Portfolio ARM makes sense in Trinidad when you're confident rates will stay stable or fall over the next 5 to 7 years. The fixed-rate start gives you payment certainty.
It's a weaker fit if you're stretching to afford the payment or if you can't absorb a rate increase later. Plan for your payment to climb when the fixed period ends.

A 30-year fixed rate locks your payment for the full term — no adjustment risk, ever. A Portfolio ARM starts lower and stays fixed for 5 to 7 years, then adjusts annually.
Fixed-rate buyers pay more upfront for lifetime certainty. ARM borrowers get a lower starting rate but accept future payment changes.
