What this sketch assumes

  • ARM intro payment uses the intro rate amortized over 30 years. After 5 years, the remaining balance is re-amortized at the later rate you entered.
  • Index, margin, periodic caps, and lifetime caps are not modeled. That later rate is a stress sketch — not a forecast. Talk to me — I'll walk the caps on a live ARM.
