A once-dilapidated mansion in Tacoma, WA, will soon go to the highest bidder.

The 11,000-square-foot residence, known as Rust Mansion, was built in 1907. It’s going up for a no-reserve auction Feb. 9–14.

Until recently, few had been inside the place.

“What makes Rust Mansion special is it is an iconic house that nobody’s ever been in,” explains listing agent Michael Morrison, with Morrison House Sotheby’s International Realty. “It’s been closed off to the public, and there’s actually been no interior photos.”

President Joe Biden‘s administration is reviving—and strengthening—a fair housing rule to combat racial discrimination. Former President Donald Trump had cut the rule while in office.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced on Thursday that it has proposed bringing back the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule. The rule had forced cities accepting federal housing money to assess and address local housing discrimination in an effort to rectify decades of redlining and segregation. Its intention was to have communities change their zoning laws to allow more apartment and condo buildings and smaller, affordable, single-family homes to go up.

“This proposed rule is a major step toward fulfilling the law’s full promise and advancing our legal, ethical, and moral charge to provide equitable access to opportunity for all,” HUD Secretary Marcia L. Fudge said in a statement released on Thursday.

Many wealthier suburbs had fought these changes as residents worried their property values could fall as a result. The rule would likely have resulted in smaller, cheaper homes going up in these areas geared toward renters and buyers with potentially lower incomes. This could have altered the racial and socioeconomic makeup of these communities, essentially desegregating them.

If you have a fixed-rate mortgage, your payment is the same amount every month and never changes no matter how much the interest rates fluctuate. While there’s some comfort to that, wouldn’t it be amazing to have a lower house payment when you’re trying to tighten the purse strings?

That’s where an adjustable-rate mortgage, or ARM, comes in.

It’s a home loan with a lower interest rate than a fixed-rate mortgage. So, what’s the catch? The ARM starter interest rate doesn’t last forever, and your payments could go up or down depending on the going rate.

Here’s what you need to know about ARMs and if you should convert to one to get a lower house payment.
