Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM)
 

A mortgage loan in which the interest rate is adjusted periodically according to a pre-determined adjustment criteria.


Amount Financed
 

The Amount Financed is not the amount of the loan. It is the requested loan amount minus the prepaid finance charge. The Amount Financed is the amount on which the APR is based. For example, if the borrower requests $100,000 and the Prepaid Finance Charge totals $4,000, the Amount Financed would be $96,000.


Annual Percentage Rate (APR)
 

The actual cost of a mortgage loan expressed as a yearly rate. The APR will be higher than the interest rate stated on the application and note if it includes fees which are categorized as pre-paid finance charges such as: interest, discount points, origination fee, required mortgage insurance and other related fees. The Truth in Lending Act requires lenders to disclose an APR to assist the borrower in measuring the actual cost of a loan on an annualized basis.
