WOW! What a great discussion. First off, Steve has correctly stated the facts of an ARM and how they adjust and what is involved, so I don't need to make a comment. He was also correct that this was probably a 'bandaid' loan to help you rebuild your credit. Don't cry over spilled milk, refi out of your ARM, but this time 'ARM' yourself!
Robert, if you would have read my book,
"What Mortgage Brokers DON'T want You to Know", you would have had 43 systematic questions to ask the mortgage broker to insure you that you didn't get a loan you didn't need.
Call to ARMS, Call to ARMS! ARMS are adjusting everywhere! Get out of them now while rates have dropped!
'ARM' yourselves in the future with the BEST mortgage ammo available, get yourself "What Mortgage Brokers DON'T want you to Know!"
Remember, Time is Money; if you don't take the time, they WILL take YOUR money!
