Adjustment Frequency |
0.01 sec. |
|
Adjustment Frequency In adjustable-rate mortgages, the rate at which changes to a mortgage's interest rate occur. Usually, the interest rate changes once a year, but some mortgages change rates as often as once a month or as seldom as every five years. The higher the adjustment frequency, the higher the financial risk for the homeowner. For example, if the adjustment frequency is once a month, a homeowner could find his/her mortgage payment increasing every month for five months before it goes down again. This ties up more of the homeowner's income, and increases the likelihood of default. How to thank TFD for its existence?
