What is an 'Adjustable-Rate Mortgage - ARM'. An adjustable-rate mortgage is a type of mortgage in which the interest rate applied on the outstanding balance varies throughout the life of the loan. Normally, the initial interest rate is fixed for a period of time, after which it resets periodically, often every year or even monthly.
Mortgages can be structured differently and many factors are negotiable, such as the interest rate, closing costs, the loanâs length, a pre-payment penalty, and a balloon payment, to name a few. One type of loan that has recently become popular is the ARM, or adjustable rate mortgage. On this loan, the interest rate starts out very low and adjusts over time according to an interest index, such as the LIBOR (London InterBank Offered Rate).
