What is the 30 Year, 1 Year LIBOR ARM?
This loan product offers a low introductory rate that can adjust every year according to the one-year LIBOR index.
The London Interbank Offered Rate LIBOR index is an average of the interest rates that major international banks
charge each other to borrow U.S. dollars. Interest rate adjustments have a 2.25% margin, an annual 2% adjustment cap,
and an 8% lifetime adjustment cap off the start rate.
What is prepaid interest?
This is the interim interest that accrues on the mortgage loan from the date of the loan closing to the beginning
of the period covered by the first monthly payment. For example, if your closing date is scheduled for April 15,
the first mortgage payment is due June 1. The lender will calculate a per-day interest amount that is collected at
the time of closing. This amount covers the interest accrued from April 15 to May 1 and then your June 1 payment
covers interest from May 1 to June 1.

Can I get a FHA?
The process of applying for an FHA loan is pretty much the same as applying for a conventional mortgage. You will need to provide verified proof of your income over the past three years – yet what qualifies as income is relaxed a bit. Social security, alimony, rent paid by other family members and such qualify as income under the FHA program. In addition, short-term debt doesn’t count against you (short-term is defined as being able to be paid off in less than 10 months).
