-cap could apply to only index + margin or also to teaser rate, depends on note
payment caps - some lenders offer ARM home loans w/ caps on payment instead of interest rate
-even if interest rate changes, payment caps at certain %
-enables lender to enjoy advantage of unconstrained interest rate adjustments while protecting borrow
against large payment changes
-gets complicated if interest charges increase more than payment cap will allow, b/c the unpaid interest
will be added to original balance, resulting in negative amortization
partially amortizing loan - may pay down partially over a certain number of yrs, but require additional
large payment w/ last scheduled payment
non-amortizing loan - require interest but no regular scheduled principal payment prior to last payment
fully amortizing loan - used for most mortgages, monthly level payment for certain number of yrs
term for amortization - determines payments & schedule of interest + principle payments
term to maturity - determines when entire remaining balance on loan must be paid in full
-often called balloon loan (dominant form of mortgage loan for income producing property)
