What is a rate lock-in? A lock-in, or rate lock option, ensures the borrower a commitment to a specified mortgage rate, including not only the interest rate but also its discount/origination points. The borrower must agree with an authorized representative of East West Mortgage Company for a specific interest rate in order to choose this option. It is also possible to choose not to lock-in a specific rate, but instead to float for a certain number of days. Floating means simply a borrower electing to have interest rates move up and down according to market conditions until a specific rate is elected to be locked-in. All borrowers electing this option must lock-in a rate and its discount points at least five (5) business days prior to a scheduled settlement, or else your settlement will be delayed.

If you have questions about the equations used, or need more information about your specific situation, you should consult your real estate professional or a mortgage lender.

Know the score After customers apply and have their credit scores pulled by their lenders, they should ask for those too. Companies have no obligation to share them, but those scores often dictate whether borrowers get loans and how much they have to pay for them. Customers who obtain their scores can get rate quotes tailored to them, rather than receive quotes that may apply only to borrowers with better or worse credit.

The Advantages of Different Types of Mortgage Lenders, continued..

For example, say the loan officer decides he and his branch are going to earn one point. When you call and ask for a rate quote, he will add one point to the cost of the loan and quote you that rate. According to the rate sheet above, seven percent will cost you zero points. Six and three-quarters percent will cost you one point.

Due on Sale - Some loans do not allow assumption by another party, and are referred to as due on sale. If your loan contains a due on sale provision, the loan must be paid in full if your property is transferred in violation of the loan documents.

The Annual Percentage Rate is a good tool in comparing different lenders and the total costs involved in financing your new home. The APR takes into consideration all the costs involved in getting a mortgage and give a clearer picture of what you are paying in interest. When you look just at the interest rate this sometimes can be deceiving since their are so many ways and programs available for mortgages. A lower interest rate is always realized with Adjustable Rate Mortgages at first and then the interest rate will increase over the years. Also a lower interest rate cannot always be seen as a better deal because the lender could be charging more fees that will offset the benefit of the lower interest rate.

For example, if more new jobs were created in the previous month than the prognosticators expected, that could indicate the economy is speeding up faster than expected, which could be inflationary. Interest rate markets fear inflation. The day new employment figures are announced (the first Friday of each month) rates could swing wildly to the up side. A few days later the Purchasing Managers Index might show a smaller number than expected and rates will fall again.
