An ARM offers lower initial payments with flexible terms, like 5/1, 7/1, and 10/1 options. ARMs provide an affordable path to homeownership with competitive starting rates and the potential for future savings.
Quick and Simple. These are qualities we all need when trying to accomplish a new home purchase amidst our daily obligations. Austin and his team at Lower went far beyond my expectations in assisting me with moving into my new home. I am in a customer experience line of work myself and I’m convinced Austin COULD NOT have made this any easier for me. I’ll be back for my next one!
"Lionel was extremely responsive anytime we had questions. Our situation was unique and he handled it extremely well! Very seamless transaction to refinance home and lower rate."
"The entire process was quick and simple. they offered the BEST rates, BEST overall payment, LOWEST monthly payment (and closing costs).... GO WITH THESE GUYS if you are refinancing"
I reached out to about half a dozen banks when looking for a Home Mortgage. Lower came back with the best rates and the agent was extremely responsive and helpful.
My score wasn't the best but Adam was pretty confident he could work something out and this was after being told no by other lenders. I didn't get my hopes up but to my surprise I was approved!
My husband and I were extremely happy working with Patrick Martin and thanks to Lending Tree we were connected to Patrick. He made everything easy. He's highly knowledgeable and obviously cares about his customers. We highly recommend Lending Tree and Lower.com Because of them we are finally debt free!!


With a 5/1 ARM, enjoy low fixed payments for five years before the rate adjusts. Ideal for buyers who plan to move or refinance soon.
Secure a low fixed rate for seven years with a 7/1 ARM. Perfect for homeowners who want more time to plan for future adjustments.


A 10/1 ARM offers a full decade of fixed rates, providing stability with the flexibility to adjust later. Great for buyers wanting stability upfront.
Yes, ARMs typically have caps that limit how much the interest rate can change. These include initial adjustment caps, periodic adjustment caps, and a lifetime cap that keeps rates from exceeding a certain level over the life of the loan.
In ARM terms, the first number represents the initial fixed-rate period in years, and the second number indicates how often the rate adjusts after that period. For example, a 5/1 ARM has a fixed rate for five years and then adjusts annually.
An ARM starts with a fixed interest rate for an initial period (such as 5, 7, or 10 years), followed by a rate that adjusts periodically based on market conditions. This structure allows you to benefit from lower rates upfront, with adjustments occurring annually after the fixed period.
