Adjustable-Rate Mortgage

An Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM) offers an initial fixed-rate period, followed by a rate that can change over time. With a potentially lower starting rate than a traditional fixed-rate mortgage, an ARM may be worth exploring if you're considering a move or refinance in the future.

Home Loans - AACU Home Loan FAQs

AACU offers a 30- year fixed-rate, first-time homebuyer program, adjustable-rate, VA, FHA, jumbo, and reverse mortgage options, plus a Swing Loan for buyers who need to purchase before selling. Each loan type suits a different budget or timeline. Compare VA Loans if you qualify for military benefits.

The AACU mortgage lineup focuses on competitive rates and flexible terms rather than a separate rewards program tied to opening a home loan. Members instead benefit from local loan officers guiding the full process. Check your eligibility before starting a mortgage application.

Pre-qualification starts with a short online application or a conversation with an AACU mortgage loan officer about your income, credit, and target purchase price. Most applicants get an answer within a few business days. Compare Adjustable-Rate Mortgages if a lower initial payment interests you.
Many AACU mortgages remain locally serviced, keeping your point of contact close to home rather than routed through a distant national servicer. Details vary by loan type and program requirements. Compare Swing Loans if you're managing a home sale alongside your purchase.
Beyond a standard fixed-rate mortgage, AACU offers adjustable-rate loans, VA loans for military members, a Swing Loan for overlapping moves, and reverse mortgages for members in retirement. Compare VA Loans to see if military benefits apply to your purchase.
