"Option Arm" What You Need To Know Seems like we all want the latest and hottest "thing" these days, and even some mortgage loans are no exception. The lending industry seems intent on seeing everyone in America become a homeowner by introducing new adjustable rate loan products that give a false impression that home ownership is both cheap and affordable despite soaring home prices.
