Offered 2.75 for 30 year fixed or 2.25 10 year arm or 1.875 for for 7 year arm. Which would you take? Really hard to know if I would still be in the property for more than 10 years or not.

I cant answer your question, I don't know if anyone could as you don't know your plans and we don't know what the rates will be at that time, (18%? ouch)

Well it’s capped at 5% on top of the rate.
Yes it’s hard to know the plans, was really asking what you would do? Lock in at a low rate for 30, or go even lower taking a chance you don’t move, or refi, and rates go up in 10 years

I'm not a risk taker so I locked in 30 year refi %2.75

But the truth is if you take the lower arm and invest the diff in mutual funds which averages gain %10 year over year it might be worth it as your loss is capped at %5

It's unlikely the rates in 10, 7 or even 3 years will be this tiny weeny.
30 years @ 2.75  is $408/month/$100,000 loan
              @ 1.875 it's $363


So if you keep the more expensive loan for 30 years, you'll have paid a total of $16,200 more.


If you take the 7 year arm, You'll save $45/ month for the 1st 7 years. Then refinance at ??? % and pay $??? more each month.
Even interest of 5% is almost double your current offer.


Take the 30 year fixed at the historically low rate of 2.75%

What about buying points to lower the rate?

Make a (excel) spreadsheet comparing how much you'll pay in 10, 15, 30 years with each rate  and add in the amount  you'll pay up front for each rate.
Then you can see  how long you need to keep the mortgage to make a buy down worthwhile.


(you can find mortgage calculators on line- just the Principal and interest - don't have them include other expenses because they'll be the same regardless of which mortgage you choose.)

Based on the math it would take around 5 years to break even considering my current tax bracket and otherwise being able to invest the money in an index at 7% a year

Then if you think you'll still be in the house in 5 years, buy yourself a better rate.

IDK.  But the rate might be higher, and you  might be expected to put down more than the standard 20%.
