what is the best APR rate when u refinance the car? my credit score is 675?
i'm planning to refinance my car,,, last year,i got my car at 9+% rate which i think was high but i had no choice then coz my credit score was bad, but i tried to rebuild it and right now my credit score 675? do u think i can still get lower that 9+% APR if i refinance it?
If its a used car, 9% really isn't too bad-- especially if its over 5 years. The lowest you can get-- and with REALLY GOOD credit, is more like 6-8% on used cars, unless its some sort of special deal. (Generally speaking.)
They may ask you for a partial downpayment so that the new loan balance is below the blue book value.
How can I ensure I get the best rate on a home refinance?
We have stellar credit, but made the mistake of not gettng a fixed rate on our mortgage 5 years ago. What do we do to ensure that we get the best deal we can?
Thanks!
The easiest way in my opinion is to go to a few different brokers at least 3 or 4 and ask for a Good Faith Estimate. They'll take your info and determine what rate, etc they can give you. Then compare those and see who has the best deal. Don't hesitate to pit them against each other people do it all the time. If you like one person in particular but they have a lesser deal show them the other GFE and see if they can match it, sometimes they can, sometimes they can't but it's worth the shot. And finally, if you think somethings too good a deal (say 4.5% interest with no closing costs) it probably is. Finding a great broker is just as important as the rate because they will help you through the whole process and make sure you don't get hurt in the end. Good luck.
You can check out mortgage rates at bankrate.com.
morgages are trying to get ur business, pit them against each other
It is true that brokers need business, but it's also unfair to make them waste their time when they can work on some other file that is duable.
The Good faith estimate is only that, an estimate they cannot ensure you to get that specific rate as they do not really know how the market will be at the time of locking the rate; unless whey they propose a rate to you and it's low they can locked it right away. However in most cases they have to have already most of the paperwork in process.
Good luck!!
Who is offering the best rate for a home refinance?
We have a rental property that we would like to refinance and consolidate all our credit.
With your situation you're working with an investment property and will take a hit on rate because it's not your primary residence. But the rates that are available to you depend on your credit score, how much equity you have, mortgage payment history, and how much debt compared to income that you have.
I work for a company called MYLOAN and our rates are very competitive and service is top notch. If you'd like a free no obligation consultation you can fill out an application on my website, email me, or give me a call. I wish you luck in your search for financing.

What is the best refinance rate in the state of Georgia?
Instead of refinancing, you may be able to get a HELOC. You could check with a mortgage broker for that. I know of some if you need referrals. Also, you may be interested in this new program. It works well with a 30 year mortgage. I am currently using a HELOC with a new software program from United First Financial, called the Money Merge Account. This software helps build equity fast, and will help me payoff my home in less than half the time without refinancing, and without extra payments. It is saving me thousands in interest, and pays off home in less than half the years.
what is the best rate someone can have for a refinance mortgage?
having 668 on credit score and being first time home buying. Today, what docs do we need to present to refinace? Thanks, I appeciate your help.
Hi Claudia; if you are siously considering this, and would like to speak to a live mortagge propfessional, you can email me at dantaft@bellsouth.net- you may be able to get a rate in the high 5s to low 6s, but I would really need more information to give you an accurate idea of what you would qualify for. Your question is a bit confusing as well, as you ask about refinancing and home purchase at the same time. Email me for more info and we can clear everything up and go from there.
rate depends on the loan to value....and if you're looking for a 30yr fixed....what's the loan amount..
you need to present paystubs, w-2's, asset statements, etc
your rate shouldnt be higher than 6.375 for a 30yr fixed...with a loan amount over 150k......80% LTV...
Basically, if you just bought your house within the last 12 months, and you bought it very close or at the valued price, it may not be a good idea to refi at this time....but if you have a lot of equity built up then go for it.
The fact that this is your first home is not a consideration in refinancing the home.
Documents you will need are 2 mos paystubs, account statements for assets like savings or retirement accts, insurance info.....the processor on the loan would acquire the other items like verification of employment etc.
Rates are in the mid to upper 6's depending on if you pay your closing costs or do a no closing cost option. The amount of equity plays a part in your loan qualifying.
You can find alot more help/info here....

Another consideration is how much equity and the loan to value you plan on borrowing. The more equity you pull out of your home the more risk for the lender.
Is there a way to look at what my refinance rate would be without going through with it?
I would like to refinance my car loan, but I am not sure if my credit will be better than my parents (their name is on the original loan). I want to know what my rate and payments could be before I decide to do it.
I would suggest that you go to any on line credit report website (www.myfico.com), pull you credit and print all three credit reports. With that info, you can then call banks or even go to lendingtree.com and see what the banks have to offer. Keep in mind that most banks have a fee to get in the loan (prepaid interest), and a fee to get out if you pay the loan off before 75% of the payments have been paid. So to get out of the loan your parents already have may cost you around $325 ($175 prepaid interest, and $150 prepayment penalty) just to start a new loan with more fees. It is a great idea to get that loan in your name if you can so you develope credit for paying the payments. Also there are banks out there that are feeless (some credit unions, wells fargo, cap one, citizens). Just some things to keep in mind while doing your shopping.
What is the most current interest rate to refinance my house in California?
I have a mortgage rate of 6.85%. should I refinance now or will interest rates go down more after the president signs the new bill to help mortgage companies?
To give you a definitive answer would require more information about what type of loan you have now (fixed or adjustable), how much your home is worth, how much you still owe, etc. Suffice it to say, if that 6.85% is for a fixed, 30 year, it will probably not be worth refinancing now or in the near future.
Where can i get best interest rate to refinance my house?
it depends. What type of loan, FHA/VA, conforming?
What terms, fixed, arm, 30 year,15 year?
Credit score?
Loan to value?
Debt to income ratio?
