Adjustable-Rate Mortgage

Adjustable Mortgage

Start Lower and Grow Smarter

With an adjustable-rate mortgage, you’ll enjoy a lower initial rate and the flexibility to move or refinance later.

What Is an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage?

An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) starts with a fixed interest rate for a set period — Home Loans Powered by MSUFCU offers 3, 5, or 7 year terms. After that, your rate adjusts periodically based on market conditions.

It’s a smart choice if you plan to sell or refinance in a few years, or if you want to maximize savings while your income grows.
