This means that your monthly payment can increase a lot at each recast.
Lenders may recalculate your loan payments before the recast period if the amount
of principal you owe grows beyond a set limit, say 110% or 125% of your original
mortgage amount. For example, suppose you made only minimum payments on your
$200,000 mortgage and had any unpaid interest added to your balance. If the
balance grew to $250,000 (125% of $200,000), your lender would recalculate your
payments so that you would pay off the loan over the remaining term. It is likely that
your payments would go up substantially.

Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMS)
Payment-option ARMs
A payment-option ARM is an adjustable-rate
mortgage that allows you to choose among
several payment options each month. The

A payment-option ARM is an adjustable-rate
mortgage that allows you to choose among
several payment options each month. The
options typically include the following:
- a traditional payment of principal and interest, which reduces the amount you
owe on your mortgage. These payments are based on a set loan term, such as a 15-,
30-, or 40-year payment schedule.
- an interest-only payment, which pays the interest but does not reduce the
amount you owe on your mortgage as you make your payments.
- a minimum (or limited) payment that may be less than the amount of interest due
that month and may not reduce the amount you owe on your mortgage. If you choose
this option, the amount of any interest you do not pay will be added to the principal of
the loan, increasing the amount you owe and your future monthly payments, and
increasing the amount of interest you will pay over the life of the loan. In addition, if
you pay only the minimum payment in the last few years of the loan, you may owe a
larger payment at the end of the loan term, called a balloon payment.

The interest rate on a payment-option ARM is typically very low for the first few
months (for example, 2% for the first 1 to 3 months). After that, the interest rate
usually rises to a rate closer to that of other mortgage loans. Your payments during
the first year are based on the initial low rate, meaning that if you only make the
minimum payment each month, it will not reduce the amount you owe and it may not

the beginning of the loan. Also, as interest rates go up, your payments are likely to
go up.
Payment-option ARMs have a built-in recalculation period, usually every 5 years. At
this point, your payment will be recalculated (lenders use the term recast) based on
the remaining term of the loan. If you have a 30-year loan and you are at the end of
year 5, your payment will be recalculated for the remaining 25 years. If your loan
balance has increased because you have made only minimum payments, or if interest
rates have risen faster than your payments, your payments will increase each time
your loan is recast. At each recast, your new minimum payment will be a fully
amortizing payment and any payment cap will not apply.
