Where can I find the lowest interest rate for a mortgage refinance?
Where can I find the lowest interest rate for a mortgage refinance in Arizona? I would like to be able to look for it online.
Hi There,
Try typing in 'home loan interest rates' or 'arizona mortgage' in your Google search engine and see which mortgage companies come up in the search. Then see what each company has to offer. If its unclear which links to follow, check out the search links that show up in the right hand column. If you have good credit, for the lowest rates, look for websites offering 'wholesale rates'.
Keep in mind that interest rates are tough to compare between mortgage companies because they hinge on so many factors including your credit, term, and the type of loan you're interested in. Instead, focus on how much the mortgage company can lower your payment. Or, pay close attention to how long the company has been in the industry, client satisfaction rate, reliability, and trust. You can typically get a good idea of how a mortgage company is received by the public through client testimonials.
If you have any questions, you can contact me directly. I hope this helps!
Are the interest rates the same between people who take a new mortgage and those who refinance?
I want to take advantage of the decline in intest rates by refinancing my mortgage. When I search online I find a lot of rates quoted for new loans but not much for refinancing. Is it safe to assume the refinancing rates will be similar to the new buyer's rates (with the same terms and credit rating of course)? Thanks.
I would go to a reputable, bricks and mortar (physical location) of a known bank to refi. Part of the mortgage debacle was using anyone and everyone (including the big banks, though) and it is critical to be sure you know who you are dealing with and what you are dealing with! Get a referral and go with someone with a good track record. Also, start with the bank you deal with. They want to keep your business and may not charge closing costs like another lender would. The credit score will determine the "good rate" that sounds low but still depends on credit score.
If you have paid your mortgage on time. Your present
lender will gladly refinance to a lower rate.
There are a lot of loan officers that are solely doing refi's
if you are in California I can refer you to several
people that I deal with.
Times are tight and the loan officers are gun shy.
Good Luck!
Good luck!
As a retired Mortgage Banker who has taught thousands of loan officers how to earn incredible incomes, I would love to answer it. There are SO many people hungry for answers to such a great question, that addressing them one at a time is SO ineffective. I have a free report available that anyone can access to get educated about all the "dirty little secrets" of this business and HOW we as a society ended up in such a mess.
It bothers me greatly that so many people, young AND old, have been taken advantage of and NEED answers to prosper financially and not become a mortgage victim. If you DON'T get educated BEFORE making a decision, you're next in line to be ripped off. Count on it.
I've been posting answers under numerous aliases on Yahoo! because I have to keep creating new accounts to do so. It seems the "establishment" prefers to keep the public in the dark when it comes to exposing the truth about anything which could actually help them avoid catastrophe. When faced with a serious choice about something in your past think about what you should have been made aware of by someone in "authority", but weren't. If you knew what "they" knew, wouldn't you have made a better decision?
Whether you're a first time buyer, moving up, refinancing, buying a foreclosure, short sale or trustee sale or auction, you're going to need financing in place. First. Doing it ANY other way is wasting your time and a professional real estate broker won't even LOOK at you or your offer unless your financing is in place. Don't believe me? Try it.
If you want to learn the industry from the inside, visit my website. I can't type the internet address here or I'll be creating yet another Yahoo! account. I'll spell it for you. MortgageSelfDefense[dot]com. Type that into your web browser as you would a regular internet address and you'll get there.
In addition to the information you'll receive on the site, if you decide to be a free subscriber, you'll receive tips, techniques and advice on regular intervals along with my personal contact information to ask questions.
I look forward to helping you.
P.S. I'm also a Real Estate Broker in two states (CA & NV) and have been since 1981. Having been so gives me a unique perspective on the industry.
Make sure to price out your loan with your LOCAL banks and mortgage brokers only.
A lot people giving advice on here are also looking to give you a loan (its not advice, its advertising), if they are not local to you and you can’t get to them within 1 hour don’t fall for it. They say they are licensed in all 50 states, what does that mean? Which state do you have to look in first if something goes wrong? KEEP IT LOCAL; DON'T GET RIPPED-OFF BY SOMEONE IN WHO KNOWS WHERE WHICH YOU WOULD HAVE NO DIRECT ACCESS TO.
Remember Buddha's advice:
"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who has said it, not even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense." You are the only "expert" you can trust: All brokers, and every other loan officer guru giving advice here with a .com or contact me at the end is "selling" you something (its not advice, its advertising). Don't buy "it."
