Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM): a mortgage where the interest rate fluctuates periodically based on the specified index.
Annual Percentage Rate (APR): the percent of a mortgage, based on interest, mortgage insurance, and loan origination fee (points), established as a yearly rate.
Loan To Value (LTV): the ratio of the loan amount to the value of the home. LTV is used when determining interest rates. Higher LTV ratios typically result in higher interest rates.
Points: charges levied by the lender that are normally payable at closing. One point equals 1% of the value of the loan.
Refinance (Refi): paying off one loan through the means of obtaining another; refinancing is a way to secure a lower interest rate.
