• CAPPED-RATE MORTGAGE
  
  The mortgage interest rate cannot go above a certain level, even if mortgage rates rise, but can fall down as rates drop. Ain't no free lunches, though, and if you want to extricate yourself from the mortgage during the capped rate period (say three or five years), you'll have to pay a redemption penalty.
