Q

Ex ARM question A borrower takes out a 7/1 ARM with 2%/1%/6% caps and a start rate of 3.5%. The margin is 4% and the loan is for $200,000 on a 30 year term. The index is based on the SOFR.
1. What is the Maximum rate this borrower will ever see?
2.When this loan starts adjusting, how many times will this loan adjust in a 12 month period
3.If at the 1st adjustment period the current SOFR is at 7%. What will the rate adjust to for this borrower’s loan?
4If the next Adjustment Period the SOFR was 5% - what is the max the rate could adjust to on this loan?

A
  1. 9.5% (take max cap and add to start rate)
  2. once annually
    3.M + I = R*
    * Always know what the current rate is prior to making a final calculation as well as check all caps!
    4 + 7 = 11 ! Current Rate is 3.5% (we can only go up 2% in first adj period ) new rate is 5.5%
    4.M + I = R
    4 + 5 = 9 however, we can only go up 1% for all future adjustments because the CAPS are 2/1/6 this makes the answer 6.5% (because you may only adjust 1% after the first adjustment period is over)
