Second Mortgage

Ohio hybrid loans are a combination of a fixed-rate loan and an adjustable-rate Ohio mortgage (ARM).

Typically, a hybrid starts out with a fixed rate for a certain length of time and then later converts to an ARM. These loans carry less risk than a 1-year ARM, and the interest rate is generally lower than that for a fixed-rate Ohio mortgage.

Since many homeowners remain in their homes an average of 7 to 10 years, Ohio hybrid loans are a good choice, allowing the borrower to take advantage of a lower interest rate in the first few years of the mortgage. Read the rest of this entry »
