If you’re rate shopping for a mortgage – here are some guidelines for you to keep in mind…
1) Ask the loan officer for a Loan Estimate (LE). There’s always a relationship between fees / points / and rate. …You won’t know what that relationship is unless you look at a LE. (A low rate is great, but if you are paying points to get it – it may not be so great after all.)
2) When looking at the LE – focus on, and compare the mortgage fees.
3) Pay attention to the date on the LE – or rate quote. The rate market changes daily. You have to compare apples to apples. …To compare two rates generated 1 week apart is a waste of time. The rate that appears higher may actually be priced more competitively than the lower rate – depending on when the quote was generated.
That’s it for today!
Have a good day! …and thanks for reading.
