Is ARM worth it for 1st property?
Good day BP family,
So I have my first investment property on the hook. With the interest rates on the rise, my lenders initial quotes changed drastically. Now it's 20% down 1.365 pts at 7.625 rate.
This led me to seek out other options. I recieved a 25% down with 0 pts, 7% rate 5/1 ARM.
In both cases my plan is to refinance IF rates ever drop.
Now the 25% DP is a bit out of reach for me but if it worth paying it up front then I would definitely consider it. I know it will lower my mortgage which will increase cashflow but not sure how I feel about ARM loans.
Is it worth getting an ARM? or should I stick with a fixed rate?
Thanks in advance!
