The fixed rate loan is fully amortized over the term of the fixed rate period.

Adjustable Rate Terms
5/1, 3/1 – This loan is amortized over a 30-year term.

The initial fixed rate period may be either three years or five years. At the end of the fixed period, the interest rate will adjust annually, with a cap on how high and low the rate may adjust. There is a lifetime cap of 5% over the starting interest rate and an annual cap of 1% at each adjustment period.

The annual adjustment caps are lower on the FHA & VA adjustable-rate mortgage loans than most conforming and non-conforming loan programs.
