Author: Boychuk Mortgage Group |

  • When working with a lender that offers a VRM product, your payment will remain static on the day of closing, meaning your VRM payment will not change & only the principal & interest on the back end will fluctuate with any BoC change. This means your amortization will otherwise adjust accordingly.
  • When the interest rate drops, your amortization drops. When the interest rate pops, your amortization pops.
