The main difference between a fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) and an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) is the type of interest rate you receive. A fixed-rate mortgage means the interest rate you start with is the rate you will have for the entire time you have the loan. Adjustable-rate mortgages have interest rates that are variable, meaning they fluctuate. You will usually have your initial interest rate for a few years (typically three, five, seven, or 10), and then the rate will change based on the index it’s tied to.
