A growing equity mortgage, or GEM, is a fixed rate mortgage whose payments increase by a fixed amount over a given schedule for an established period of time, often the entire term of the loan (for example, the monthly payment may increase annually over the 15 year term of the loan). The monthly payment may increase monthly, or annually. The increase in payment is applied directly toward the principal of the loan.
