If you're planning to stay in your home for a relatively short period of time, consider an adjustable rate mortgage.1

  • Your initial interest rate is fixed for a short period of time, after which it will convert to a variable rate and adjust semi-annually during the life of your loan if the index changes
  • May have a lower interest rate and lower monthly principal and interest payments during the initial fixed interest rate period¹
  • After the initial fixed interest rate period ends, your payments will change semi-annually when the variable interest rate adjusts

Refinancing

Refinancing your current mortgage may allow you to lower your interest rate and monthly mortgage payment, shorten the term of your mortgage or let you use your home equity to make larger purchases or consolidate debt.

If your mortgage is less than $250,000, you may benefit from refinancing with a home equity line of credit with a Fixed Rate Lock Option. A HELOC offers competitive rates, flexibility, and we pay many closing costs.

To learn about refinancing options, contact a BMO Harris Mortgage Banker.
