In determining our max 5 year rate for QM for a 3/1 arm with a margin of 2.39%, annual cap of 1%, initial rate of 2.94% based on the current 1 year t bill of .59. Would I base my next change on the fully indexed rate plus the 1%? Or do I base it off of my initial interest rate since it will never go to the rate of 3.98%. I can’t find it in the regulation on how to calculate the max 5 year rate. I see in the ATR that it states to use the fully indexed rate.
It looks like we missed your question when you posted it. If you still an answer we’re happy to help. I just need clarification on a few points. First, I want to confirm your margin is 2.39%? Second, am I correct in thinking your initial rate of 2.94% is an introductory rate and not your index plus your margin (fully indexed rate)? Finally, you mentioned the 1% annual rate cap, is there a rate floor?
