How is your interest rate calculated?

There are many factors involved with determining the interest rate that you will pay on your loan. The following list is a few of the items that are considered when calculating your rate.

  • Loan to value
  • Credit score
  • Income amount
  • Subject property (is it your primary residence, second home, or income property?)
  • Impounds for taxes and insurance
  • Rate lock time frame (15, 30, 45 days)
  • Type of loan (for example: Conforming, Jumbo, ARM, VA, FHA)

Interest rates can change on a daily basis, and usually the rates change more than once a day.

Remember, when shopping for your loan, compare the APRs of each loan program. The APR (Annual Percentage Rate) takes into account the interest rate as well as closing costs - this gives you a more accurate way to determine the cost of the loan.

We have a variety of lenders to choose from, each with a wide selection of loan programs. With our knowledge and expertise, we can ensure that you get the best deal out there for your particular situation.
