Should I get a fixed rate mortgage if I plan to remodel right away?

Posted by admin
ounlopez asked:


Hi all,

I am planning to buy a house with 5-10% down, but I want to remodel the kitchen and bedroom within the next two years. I expect this will add to the value of the house, making my loan-to-value ratio closer to 80/20. Do you think I should get a mortgage with an ARM, if it has a better rate, and then refinance once the remodeling is complete? Any other suggestions for the mortgage?

      Don’t touch ARMS right now.
      Interest rates WILL NEVER be lower again in your lifetime.
      That means interest rates will go up.
      Money magazine has stated that rates could double in just 5 years.

      Anyone that thinks interest rates will go lower EVER is a fool and should be taken advantage of.

      Fixed rate unless you have the capital to pay the increased ARM payment when real estate tanks again and your LTV is 120%. Real estate will not recover until employment does, so it really depends on where you live.
