Mortgage: ARM adjustment. Worse suitcase?
OK, I feel dumb asking this, but here goes....
Let's enunciate it's 2011. My ARM mortgage is set to adjust in 6 months. I owe $750K on a home that I bought in 2006 for $750K on a 5/1 interest-only ARM (80/20). I've be paying 6.375 % to this point. My ARM has a 5% first adjustment cap and a 2.75% fringe. The Libor is 8% in 2011.
Instead of paying down my second, I have tucked $37K (10% of home value) surrounded by savings to prepare for "Adjustment Day".
My home value is appraised LESS than I salaried. Let's say $690K.
What would be possible refinance options?
How screwed would I be?
Would a refinance at that point be the dumbest entry ever?
Would it even be possible?
What would be the smartest thing to do at that point?
It's a situation that I could very okay be in.
I'm just trying to assess what a situation approaching that spells for me.
Answers:
Lay back in the weed and await developments. LIBOR has crashed; when I wrote a mortgage a few years ago, it was at 5.5%. It is immediately at 2.5%, which means that (if nothing else changes) my interest rate, at reset, will run DOWN. Your scheme to lay up cash contained by case the sh-t hits the fan is markedly wise; you might do well to invest some of that dosh in equities, which are still pretty cheap -- maybe as much as partially of it. There is no way to predict what the debt markets will be within three years; we simply have to hope for the best.
You have over thought the whole situation too much entirely. The rates are lower afterwards they have been for moderately some time! You should get it over with and refinance the 2 loans into 1 30 year fix rate below 6% and be done with it. I know someone who could go over adjectives your options with you and lay it out and show you what is best for your current situation. You should really shoot him an email and see what option are available to you. Mike(a)afbankloans.com

Im assumming that with that kind of mortgage you are making at most minuscule 10k per month. As long as you are getting raises of 2.5% every year for the next 3 years, I dont reckon you will even notice when they payments go to 8%
So immediately you are paying 4679 P&I at 6.375 right? At 8% thats only 5503 a difference of only 824 dollars. Now assuming you dont brand more money by 2011 and you dont put any more into your savings, by 2011 if you have that money surrounded by a high interest savings rationalization getting 3%, you will have 40k by 2011 and then use that money for "Adjustment day" and that will maintain you going until 2015. Median income goes up about 20% every 7 years, so contained by 7 years expect that if you are making 10k per month today, you will be making 12k per month then. So i would not really worry if i be you.
