Summary

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its rules on interest rates for adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) loans and hybrid adjustable rate mortgage (h-ARM) loans. The proposed rule would ensure VA's existing interest rate regulation reflects current statutory requirements regarding these loans, in a way that makes the loans a more viable, safe product for Veterans. The proposed rule would also solidify requirements for temporary buydown agreements to help Veterans temporarily reduce their interest rates and, in effect, lower their monthly mortgage payments for a specific period of time.

The agency’s own summary, as published.
