An adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) on a home loan comes with a flexible interest rate that changes over the life of the loan. Some ARMs offer initial fixed interest rates for three, five or seven years and then adjust over the remainder of the loan term. Compared to a fixed rate mortgage, an ARM mortgage offers a lower initial interest rate, but after the fixed rate period ends, monthly payments typically fluctuate up or down, depending on the market.
