What is a 5/5 ARM loan?
A 5/5 ARM loan is an adjustable-rate mortgage that offers a fixed interest rate for the first five years.
At Cal Coast we've gone the extra mile to support members who get a 5/5 ARM loan. Many ARM loans have their interest rates adjusted annually, but with our 5/5 ARM rates are only modified once every 5 years. We've also set a maximum adjustment cap of 2% every 5 years, and 5% over the life of the loan. This member-centric approach can help shield you from unwelcome payment surprises.
