MAT Pay Option ARM
What
are the benefits of 12 MAT ARM?
· Excellent choice for borrowers who are self-employed or work on commission
with inconsistent income because borrowers have payment options every month
· Helps maximize cash flow or defer interest to offset capital gains
in a securities portfolio for savvy investing
· Works well for investment properties where rentals may produce an uneven
monthly revenue stream
Why is 12 MAT ARM so flexible, yet stable?
Based on the Monthly Treasury Average (MTA), the 12 MAT is not affected by the
volatility of daily interest movements. That’s because the MTA is a 12-month
average of the monthly yields on U.S. Treasury securities. Each month the MTA
index adjusts to reflect the previous 12-month average, thus avoiding the sharper
fluctuations of other volatile indices.
