11:Land loans 1-10 years, 25% downpayment
12:ARM loans are variable rate loans, interest rates and payments may increase after consummation. Rates and payments will remain the same for the first 5, 7, or 10 years and then can adjust to a new rate and payment every 1, 3 or 5 years based on a current index, depending on the ARM program you choose. For example, if you select the 5 & 1 Fixed Variable program your rate and principal & interest payment will be fixed for the first 5 years (the 5 in 5& 1), after that the interest rate and payment could change every 1 year for the remainder of the mortgage’s term (the 1 in the 5 & 1).
