A jumbo loan is a loan that exceeds the amount that Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac will guarantee or buy. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac control the secondary mortgage market, where mortgages are sold to other banks and financial institutions.
ARM
ARM stands for adjustable rate mortgage. With an adjustable rate mortgage, the interest rate will change periodically at agreed-upon points throughout the life of the loan, in order to adjust to market interest rates.
