Adjustable Mortgages come in a wide variety of payback options. From 1 year to 10 years, interest only fixed for 10 then full principal and interest for the remaining twenty it can be confusing.

Some of the more popular Arms in today's market are the 7 and 10 year Arms. The rate is fixed for the term it states and then would start to adjust after that.

Arms are great for people that are only planning on being in their home for a certain period of time or for someone that is looking for a really low payment to start with for certain financial situations.
