Advert
[edit]Until this article has better references than a vendor of the financial product being pumped by the article text, the advert tag will remain. Claims for the "popularity" of the instrument also are needed. --Tagishsimon (talk) 01:59, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
- Would you still consider this article to read like an advertisement? While the article is still in need of considerable improvements, I wouldn't agree with this assessment. The current article is largely critical of the claims made by advertisers and promotors of this system. It is, however, in dire need of references. Wilford Nusser (talk) 05:19, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Acceleration after mortgagor default
[edit]In the context of mortgages it seems to me the primary meaning of acceleration is the process that happens before foreclosure: see Foreclosure#Acceleration. I just added a sentence to indicate this meaning.
The article focuses on another meaning that seems doubtful to me. It needs sources, at least.

- Looks like it's an Australian practice, which makes sense, with the Australian government references. Probably this article should just clarify that in the lead, and link to Foreclosure#Acceleration. -- Pnm (talk) 02:59, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
Poorly written, lacks mathematics
[edit]I came here to read about the maths of these mortgages: would paying your mortgage every two weeks instead of every month save you alot of money?
However, this article seems to lack any content in mathematical markup.
Also, the article is written in one long piece. It should be broken up into sections.
I will research the issue myself and possibly help edit it sometime. Shane (talk) 17:37, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
Some splits
[edit]I did some minor sectioning and added some cross references.
The math is actually there, but it's definitely hard to see. 184.151.178.35 (talk) 15:00, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
Downsides of ARM missing
[edit]While the Prime rate hasn't been high recently, the risk of interest rates floating monthly as a function of Prime is a risk not listed in the article. Could someone address that?
