Question 1

How does an ARM rate adjustment work in practice?

Accepted Answer

After the fixed period, your rate adjusts annually based on an index plus a lender margin. Caps limit how much it can move each adjustment.

Question 2

What ARM term makes sense for Baldwin Park buyers?

Accepted Answer

A 5/1 or 7/1 ARM fits buyers planning to sell or refinance within that window. Holding past the fixed period increases your rate risk.

Question 3

Can I refinance before my ARM adjusts?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and many borrowers do exactly that. Your ability to refinance depends on rates, equity, and credit at that time.

Question 4

What credit score do I need for an ARM loan?

Accepted Answer

Most ARM programs require a 620 minimum. Above 700 gets you better pricing and more lender options.

Question 5

Are ARMs riskier than fixed-rate loans?

Accepted Answer

They carry more long-term uncertainty. But for borrowers with a defined timeline, that risk is manageable and the savings are real.
