Bowater Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs)

An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) gives you access to extremely low interest rates for the initial fixed period. ARMs are great for people who don’t plan to stay in their homes for a long time unless they’re open to refinancing their loans. If you plan to move in a few years, an ARM might be the best home loan for you.

Our 7/1 ARMs are perfect for most people, saving you money in interest and keeping payment low. Enjoy a 7-year fixed rate period, followed by an adjustable rate for the next 23 years that caps at 2% annually.

A 1/1 ARM is the lowest payment available, with a fixed rate period for the first year, and an adjustable rate for the next 29 years that caps at 1% annually.

Adjustable Rate Home Loan FAQ

What is the difference between an ARM and a fixed rate mortgage?

With a fixed rate mortgage, you’ll have the same interest rate for the entirety of the life of the loan. Conventional fixed rate loans for home buyers are available in either 15 or 30-year increments.

Does the VA offer ARMs?

How do I know what type of interest rate I’m going to get on my home loan?

When we review your mortgage application, we review a number of factors, including:

Credit score
Income
Debt-to-income ratio (DTI)
Existing assets
Tax returns
Down payment amount
Gift letter if anyone is helping you make your down payment

These documents and this information help us get a comprehensive picture of your financial situation. Generally speaking, the better your credit score, the lower the interest rate on your loan.

Do I need to be a member of Bowater to take advantage of their home loan products?
