Why anyone would ever do an arm is beyond me.

Because your realtor and your lender--professional salespeople who stand to make much profit off you--make it sound like a really good idea. Unfortunately, people don't do a lot of their own research and instead think that their chatty, bubbly realtor is their friend that gives good advice.

Yep! I argued the math with a realtor who continued to regurgitate the same bullets over and over again.

I honestly see realtors are car salesmen for houses.
