Has Your Adjustable Rate Mortgage Become A Gamble? - part 2

by Charles Essmeier

What can you do if you have an adjustable rate loan that is about to become unaffordable and may yet become even more so? Your best bet may be to refinance and take out a 15 or 30-year, fixed-rate loan. The benefit of doing so is the security that comes with knowing that your payment will remain stable over a long period of time, no matter what happens to the interest rates in the marketplace. If you cannot afford your loan now and refinancing with a fixed-rate loan will still leave the payments unaffordable, you may have no choice but to sell the property and move to something smaller and/or less expensive. You will not be alone.
