Funny Money: 5/1 ARM mortgage rates under 2.5 percent

Our associate lenders are sending us the latest mortgage rate sheets prior to this weekend.  5/1 ARM rates can be under 2.5% for qualified applicants.  This may be a good bet for a condo purchase. Low rates on 30 yr fixed and low jumbo loan rates make pricier houses and multi-unit purchases in great locations very attractive.  One of our buyer clients locked a 30 yr fixed this week at 4% on a house.

I might even consider buying a house or two-flat with the 5/1 ARM, use the savings for renovations, and refinance when the time is right.  There are a lot of options right now.
