Cool Mortgage Product - 50/50 Mortgage. Check it out.

The 50/50 mortgage is ideally suited for:


- Are you unsure whether to go Variable or Fixed. This product eliminates this.
- Do you want a low interest rate and are more risk-averse than a typical ARM client.

  • The weighted average interest rate on this mortgage is approximately 3.57% given today's current pricing!

  • And only 50% of the mortgage is subject to interest rate risk.


- Do you want added flexibility in paying down your mortgage? ** The two portions operate independently of each other, so you can choose to make prepayments on the fixed portion which has the higher interest rate or you can choose to pay down the ARM portion aggressively which in turn further minimizes your future interest rate risk!
Features:
- 50% of mortgage amount is at current 5 year fixed rate pricing (now at 4.49%)
- 50% of mortgage is at current 5 year ARM pricing (now at Prime +.40%)

Neat idea.
