Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans(ARM)
Also known as the variable rate mortgage, an ARM is a mortgage in which the interest rate is adjusted periodically based on a pre-selected index. An adjustable rate is based on a margin plus and index. The margin is fixed for the life of the loan. The index will adjust based on the market or economic conditions. As a result, the interest rate on your loan will rise and fall with increases and decreases in overall interest rates. If interest rates rise, you can expect to see an increase in what you pay monthly as well. The ARM often comes with an interest rate cap, which limits the amount by which the interest rate can change. Though they do have the potential to raise your monthly payments, an adjustable-rate-mortgage can make a big difference in lowering your monthly payments too.

Bankruptcy is a proceeding in a federal court to relieve certain debt of a person or a business unable to pay its debts. A bankruptcy will stay on your credit rating for 7 to 10 years acting like a warning to potential lenders. The assets of a person filing bankruptcy are then turned over to a trustee and used to payoff outstanding bills. Personal bankruptcy can provide relief to people on dire financial straits by releasing them from the obligation to repay their debts.
Testimonials
Thank you so much for everything you did for us during the process of purchasing our dream home. We were so frustrated with the experience we had with the bank who had provided our first mortgage, I am thankful we made the decision to work with for this purchase. We were unsure how to proceed with the loan application process for our specific situation, and you were to guide us through the best scenario to reach the outcome we were looking for. There were so many ups & downs during the purchasing process, and you were always there to guide us through each step. I appreciate how quickly you responded to our e-mails & calls at different times of the day. At settlement, you made sure we understood everything and stayed with us until the process was completed. The experience we received was invaluable, and I cannot imagine how we would have made it through without your help & expertise. I highly recommend Financial Access to anyone who is looking for professional & personalized experience.

It was my pleasure getting to know you better today. I would also like to tell you that I have had a lot of contact with mortgage people over the years. As a Realtor for almost a decade in both New York and Canada. I have purchased five homes. One in New York, three in Canada and one in Pennsylvania. I also looked into becoming a mortgage broker while I was practicing real estate, so I talked to a number of mortgage brokers about the business. I just wanted to let you know that you are the most impressive person I have met in the mortgage industry in well over a decade in two countries. I have never met someone with your comprehensive knowledge of the entire industry, from product knowledge, to sales, to underwriting, to back office and paperwork. It is also obvious to me that your clients’ needs are your needs, which is very rare to find. Whenever I come across someone (including myself) who needs to mortgage or refinance in Pennsylvania you are the person I will refer them to.

Annamarie Scarselletti of Financial Access, LLC was so patient and kind during our home refinancing in the Spring of 2013. As an easily overwhelmed individual, I was comforted as Annamarie held me together, guided me through sorting paperwork and went the extra mile to meet with us on numerous occasions to sign paperwork. Her obvious dedication to her clients is what brought be back to work with Annamarie after she helped me with my first home mortgage and two subsequent refinances over the past decade. Annamarie is the bees knees!

Annamarie has been working with me for several months to enable me to obtain a very complicated mortgage refinance. There were many, many obstacles that had to be overcome in order to proceed with the loan. I could not have found anyone that was more thorough, patient and knowledgeable than Annamarie.
She explained in detail banking, real estate and mortgage procedures that have never been explained to me in the past. She explained everything in easy-to-understand language, told me why she was doing what she was doing and why it was in my best interest.
There were many non-typical issues to overcome and Annamarie tackled and resolved each one. At one point, I was on the verge of giving up but she talked me out of it, telling me to be patient and we would get where we needed to be. She was right. We closed on the loan in mid-July.
I highly recommend Annamarie Scarselletti’s services and I would contact her again if the need ever arises. She has proven to be very professional and extremely competent in her profession.Dave Mazzaferro, Saxton, PA, 7/30/2014

You know you can trust a company when your own financial planner uses and suggests it to their own clients! Annamarie Scarseletti of Financial Access, LLC has made the art of re-mortgaging easier than I could ever believe. During the process, I always felt like I was Ms. Scarseletti’s only client, as she constantly kept me informed, always offered sound and fair advice, even emotional support (Thank you for the holiday card last year!). Working with this company has given me a sense of empowerment, believing that there is a company out there who really cares about their customers’ interests, and is willing to put in 110% of their energies to help someone like me own and improve a home on a single income. I have referred Annamarie Scarseletti of Financial Access, LLC to close friends and family, and will most definitely use this company’s services in the future.
