of principal and interest in each monthly payment.adjustable rate mortgagesARM- is a mortgage for which the interest rate is subject to change during the life of the loan. a borrower's rate at any point in time can change but is subject to two limits that are called caps or ceilings #annual cap-interest rate can be adjust upward in any given year, example if you have a 2 percent ceiling per year and the interest rate you have currently is 7 and rates go up to 10, the highest yours can go to is 9%. #lifetime cap-gives protection so it limits on how high the lender can let your interest rate go to. ##a prepayment cap can also be put in place in an ARM, meaning that even if therate adj reach their max each yer, if the resulting monthly payment increases to more than the specific amount, the payment cap keeps the payment within reasonable limitsamortized loanmost popular type of loan. also called a direct reduction loan. example rate 6.44 mortgage is 150,000 25 years 150 x
