1 – Compose a list of questions regarding your loan program
Be sure to have a list of questions with you if you do not totally comprehend the advantages and disadvantages of all the different programs.
It can be a challenge to understand the characteristics of both fixed and adjustable rate mortgages. One of our lenders or associates will assist you with understanding the advantages and disadvantages of both.
2 – Decide when to lock
By locking in a rate, your mortgage lender is committing to the interest rates for the loan – often at the time the loan application is sent in.
By floating the rate, you can lock the rate at any time between the day you apply for your loan and at the time of closing. Buyers who decide to float presume that the interest rates will decline in the near future. Click here to see the outlook for the next 90 days of interest rates.
