We cannot thank Nadia and her entire team enough for everything they did for us throughout our home-buying journey. From the very first day until well after closing, Nadia was always there for us—answering every question, guiding us through every step, and making sure we never felt alone in the process. Buying a home can be stressful, especially when unexpected challenges come up. There were moments when we truly thought our dream of buying a home might not happen. But thanks to Nadia's optimism, professionalism, patience, and the incredible support of her entire team, we never lost hope. They kept encouraging us, finding solutions, and helping us move forward. What touched us the most was how genuinely they cared. We never felt like just another transaction or another file on someone's desk. They treated us with kindness, compassion, and respect, making us feel more like family than clients. They truly listened to our concerns, supported us every step of the way, and celebrated this milestone with us. My husband and I are beyond grateful and incredibly happy in our new home. We wholeheartedly recommend Nadia to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and caring loan officer. If you want someone who will truly stand by your side from beginning to end, Nadia is the person to trust.

I had the pleasure of working with TJ recently on two transactions. TJ has ALWAYS been a great lender, well respected in our community, communicates to all parties involved in a timely manner and helps each client understand all their options. She is patient and very knowledgeable. I would recommend TJ for any client looking to purchase a new home or to refinance a mortgage loan.

Buying our first home felt intimidating, and we fully expected the mortgage process to be stressful and overwhelming. Thanks to Brian, Katelin, and the entire Universal Lending team, it was anything but!From start to finish, every member of the team was knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly kind. They took the time to answer our questions, kept us informed throughout the entire process, and made sure we always knew what to expect. They handled everything with professionalism and made us feel completely supported.As first-time homebuyers, we couldn't have asked for a better lending team. Brian, Katelin, Brie, Deanna, and Shari turned what we thought would be a scary experience into one that felt smooth, organized, and simple. We are so grateful for everything they did to help us get into our first home. We would recommend this team without hesitation to anyone looking for a lender that truly cares about their clients.

Frequently Asked Questions

You’ve got adjustable rate mortgage questions. We’ve got answers.

Are there limits on how much the rate can adjust?

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.

What do terms like 5/1, 7/1, and 10/1 mean?

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.

What is an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM), and how does it work?

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.
