There are a number of variables which will determine what the rate might be for a specific loan. Some of the important ones would be as follows:
Loan Amount
Amount of down payment or equity in the property
Number of dwelling units (1-4)
Is it owner occupied or an investment property
Does the borrower want to pay points or not
Length of the loan term
Fixed or adjustable (there are many different types of adjustable mortgages)
Amount of income and liabilities
Credit quality
Does the borrower prefer a limited, or even a no documentation loan
Is the loan to be a VA/FHA/USDA government insured loan
Is the purpose of loan to take cash out of the equity in the property
The above is not to suggest that it is difficult to obtain a loan, but only to point out how difficult it is to address every possible situation in some sort of simple rate presentation. We would therefore urge you to take the time to talk to one of our loan officers to determine the best deal we can put together for your particular circumstances.
