WHAT ABOUT RATES?
What are your mortgage interest
rates?
That
is the most common question we hear. To be completely honest, there is
no one, standard interest rate. You see, interest
rates are as diverse as the people who ask about them.
Your own interest rate will depend on the characteristics of your loan,
your credit score, your property, your debt-to-income ratio, your income
documentation type, and a whole bunch of other factors. Add to
that the fact that rates can change up to 3 times a day and you can see
how that question would be difficult to answer! Beware of
anyone who quotes you a rate without asking you many, many questions.
Your
rate = Your credit score + Your loan characteristics.
For
a lender to quote a rate that will be even remotely close to a true
number, you need to supply the lender/broker agent with a COMPLETE
application along with a tri-merged (all three bureaus) credit report
for all applicants. In residential real estate mortgage lending, one
rate does NOT fit all. The rates published on other web pages will
give you an answer, but it won't be the REAL answer.
A
savvy internet loan shopper will compare not only interest rates on
loans, but the prices and features of similar products. You must
be sure you are comparing "apples" to
"apples". In order to do that you should look at the APR
on the different loans. The APR takes into account the additional
costs of the loan and allows you to compare the entire cost of the loan.
But what about
those super-low rates I've seen advertised? Can I get those rates?
You may! You see,
Those super-low rates are teaser rates reserved only for the very few
borrowers who have high credit scores and fit strict lending
guidelines. But if you need a non-traditional loan with
characteristics that exceed the traditional "cautious"
conforming lending standards, you should expect rates to be a bit
higher. For example, a non-traditional loan would be the
following: your home's value is $160,000, you owe $130,000 and you want
$30,000 cash out. For this non-traditional loan, your rate will be
a bit higher, but still very competitve.
We offer Conforming
loan products that match
or often beat any rate you'll find posted on the Internet or in the
newspaper for our borrowers who can fit into those programs. But for our
borrowers who don't fit into those programs, we offer Non-Conforming
loan products to
fit their borrowing needs. These loans are tailored to provide more
lenient requirements and have interest rates, which are somewhat higher.
All of our business is customized to fit your individual credit
situation and
your particular needs. In fact, 60% of all the loans funded in America
are for these non-traditions, non-conforming type loans. They are
a much better fit for those who need the more generous, liberal
borrowing guidelines or a less common kind of residential real estate
loan. In this non-conforming lending arena, we help people of all credit
grade levels: from stellar, 'AAA' credit to bumpy credit
backgrounds. Our goal is to help you get back on your feet and
build a better financial future. Real solutions for real
situations.
Rest assured that we will do
our best to find you the best possible rate for the loan program that
meets your needs. After all, we're here to help you find a
solution and improve your financial life. Contact us if you have
questions regarding your rate. Email us at info@e-moneysolutions.com.
