All About Mortgage Rates

Mortgage rates can be pretty confusing, particularly if you’re a first-time home buyer being overwhelmed with “lowest rates available.” It doesn’t seem to help that many lenders use misleading marketing tactics! Do you wonder how loan officers even come up with those numbers that make up your mortgage quote? In this episode of Mortgage Secrets, John Downs of Downs Capital breaks down what all goes into a mortgage loan rate, why the best available rate on a given day may not be as significant as you think, and how choosing the best loan product (like anything else in the home-buying process) really comes down to what your life goals are.
