Thus, my point that it would not matter what mtg they took - they likely would lose their house under both, though the they may be able to hold on to it in the pmt was several hundred dollars less a month in an ARM. But, if they have no way to pay either mtg - they would lose their house. So, how is the ARM a bad choice here
