The thing I don't get is why more people don't choose */5 (aka adjusts every 5 years) or similar ARMs, if they're going adjustable. Rates aren't that different

The thing I don't get is why more people don't choose */5 (aka adjusts every 5 years) or similar ARMs, if they're going adjustable.
Rates aren't that different than more aggressive adjustables (i.e. */1), and it seems a much better risk bargain.
- mlhpdx 3y agoThere is an investment path where no loan is taken at all, but while the per-property returns are better (and the approach is sustainable) the amount that can be earned overall is a fraction of what can be reaped in a “good” leveraged scenario (temporarily, historically).
- dragonwriter 3y agoA /5 means if the rate does adjust upward, its stuck their for five years, while you might ger lucky and miss a transient spike altogether. If its worth locking in for 5 years at the current rates toward the end of the 5 years on a 5/1, refi to a new 5/1.
