Adjustable-Rate Mortgages vs. Fixed-Rate Mortgages

With industry experts predicting that mortgage rates will rise in 2014, it is important to assess whether a fixed-rate mortgage or an adjustable-rate mortgage is the solution to your home financing needs.

Conversely, if you are going to stay in your home for an indefinite period of time, a fixed-rate mortgage may be the correct choice.
