Speaking of mortgages... 2.625%, 5-yrs, $750K... @ ING

Quote from trendy:

Easy Orange are FIXED rate loans, not ARMs. Thought you would have known that. Also, they require you to make bi-weekly electronic payments. Max loan amount is $750k

1. I know all about it. I have one.

2. You apparently don't read carefully. I never said "Easy Orange is an ARM". (The fact is that it's a 5-year fixed rate with option to renew at the then current rates... and priced like 5/1 ARMs today... only "lower priced". And regardless of the loan's mechanics, it's a big money saver because of the low rate. But it's not for everybody. You have to be financially strong to qualify. And as for the bi-weekly part... it's approximately correct to say that each 2-week payment is 1/2 the normal monthly payment. No problem at all.)

So, who's the DUMBASS now?
 
Aaah ok, The op refinance from the 5/1 ARM to the easy orange. He get the better interest rate compare to his 5/1 ARM from before. So he make the bet in 5 years interest is the same (then he renew maybe?) He save $55,000 of interest in this 5 years. If the interest go up against him, he just pay off the balance because he have the money. So he is safe, and he save so much money in the 5 years.

Uh, that would still be you. Read your own posts.

If you're taking the risk of going the ARM route, might as well get the best rate.

Again.. if you're "taking the ARM risk", better to get the best rate. In my case, I'm getting paid $55,000 to take that risk for [only] the next 5 years.

I didn't say "it's an ARM". You inferred. Likely will renew at rates better than an ARM, too.
