What is the best type of short term loan. 3/1, 5/1 or 7/1? I hear 5/1 is the most common?

It depends on what your long term plans are? Once you decide this then it will be easier to direct you which way to go! If that makes sense!

Every one is different because everyone's needs are different.. If you know for certain you will be moving in 3 to 4 years, then a 5/1 ARM would be ideal.. But if you know you will be there for 20 years, then maybe none of these options are for you.. Without knowing your short and long term plans, it's difficult to advise you.. However, when it comes to loan pricing, most all 3/1 ARMS are priced the same as a 5/1 ARM, which is why they are the most popular, and Most 10/1 ARMS are higher than fixed rates, which is why this is the least popular. The 7/1 ARM will be slightly lower than a 5/1 ARM, but whether or not it makes sense is up to each individual. I'm a preferred Lender with California and Arizona being my primary markets.
