Adjustable Rate Loans - Shoreline Mortgage

Adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) are not as popular as fixed rate mortgages but still make up a significant part of the total housing market. The primary advantage of an ARM is that it offers a lower initial interest rate and monthly payment than a 30 year fixed rate mortgage. The lower initial interest rate can be fixed for up to ten years.

During the initial fixed rate period, the interest rate will be lower than what it would have been had the borrower taken out a 30 year fixed rate mortgage. However, after the initial fixed rate period is over, the interest rate most likely will rise at a regular interval based on several factors.

Some borrowers are willing to take the risk of their rate rising considerably because they believe the savings realized in the early years is worth the risk. Some believe that they will be able to refinance before the fixed rate period ends. Interest rates do run in cycles, but the problem is one never knows how long or short the cycles will be.

Why get an adjustable rate mortgage?

Save thousands in payments vs. a fixed rate loan during the initial period.
Use the savings to pay down other debt or for whatever you like.
Great option if you intend to refinance or sell your home in an expected time frame.
Put as little as 5% down (FHA 3.5%), or
Refinance up to 95% of your home’s value

At Shoreline Mortgage we offer ARM programs with initial fixed rate periods of 5, 7 and 10 years. Visit our specific ARM program pages to see if an ARM program is right for you.

Client Testimonials – What Our Customers are Saying

We were looking at so many options for our Refi – 15 Year vs. 30 Year, combining two mortgages into one. We tried working with our bank, but became very frustrated at the inflexibility. We decide to talk to Michael because he had helped us so much with our first mortgage almost 10 years ago. Michael gave us the pros and cons of every option we discussed, and was always open to running multiple scenarios for us. When we finally chose the right financing plan for our needs, Michael guided us through every step of the way.

By far the most convenient, transparent and responsive mortgage broker I have worked with. I've dont multiple loans with Michael and each time he has exceeded expectations.

Jon Shaller Florida

Michael Minkoff was great. He worked through all the different ways we could structure our loan and helped us find the one that was absolutely best for our situation. I really appreciated how quick he was to respond to us throughout the process and yet I never felt rushed, as he made sure we understood everything happening throughout the process. I have been and will continue to recommended him to others I know looking for a mortgage.

Berry Long Longwood, FL

My fiance and I purchased our first home last year and we didn’t understand anything about the mortgage process. We met with one broker and we were still confused. We were advised to meet with Michael Minkoff. Michael is extremely knowledgeable and attentive which made both of us feel so comfortable. Everything went so smoothly, and he locked us in at the lowest possible interest rate. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Shoreline Mortgage made us feel like we were one of their top clients.

Michael is very professional and knowledgeable. We were extremely lucky to have him help us, not once, but twice on with our mortgages. He knows what he is doing and he gets the job done well before deadline! We never need to worry about anything with his help!

Chloe Yang Weston FL

Our particular residential situation was unusually complicated because we had to choose loan size/package, we have multiple rental properties with mortgages and have multiple income streams not dominated by traditional employment. Michael Minkoff was extremely effective at helping us navigate through all of this complexity in a very organized, helpful fashion to an excellent financial and personal conclusion. Thank you, Michael.

Client Testimonials – What Our Customers are Saying

When I purchased my home last summer, it was the first time I would do so on my own. I had minimal experience with the paperwork and the overall process. The patience extended to me by Michael Minkoff was truly amazing. He walked me through every step of the way. He was knowledgeable, professional, and downright kind. I was and I am very grateful to him for his assistance. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Minkoff. Anybody who does business with him will not regret the choice. There are many companies out there, but the knowledge and service extended by Mr. Minkoff by far exceeds the others in the same industry.

I worked with Michael to buy a home in Miami. From my first interaction with Michael to the last moment of the closing, Michael was extraordinarily responsive, attentive and kind. Michael is the consummate professional. He is incredibly patient and knowledgeable about the entire real estate industry. I give him my highest recommendation and would not hesitate to use him again in the future.

My wife and I have bought two homes in the last 4 years and have used Michael services each time. He is quick to give you the information you need to make an informed decision. His knowledge of the market is truly exceptional! He is on your side with the banks and always gives you best deal you qualify for. I would highly recommend Michael to anybody looking to finance a new home.

Jason Fromm Plantation, FL

Working with Michael was the best decision we made. He was helpful and informative through the entire process. There were nights that he was up sending me emails about how to quickly repair my credit score, while most people would be sleeping. His dedication to customer service and finding the best mortgage to fit his clients needs is exactly why we will be calling Michael the next time we are purchasing a house.
