Is there any incentive for a mortgage broker to lock you in at a higher interest rate?

November 21st, 2009
Elliot asked:


Our mortgage broker is encouraging us to wait for the interest rates to fall again despite the fact that they have increased steadily for the past three weeks. Is there a monetary incentive for him to lock us in higher? We are paying 1 point for a better rate.

How often and based on what does the interest rate on home mortgages fluctuate?

August 18th, 2009
Ultra- Man asked:


I applied for a home loan and was given a rate of 5.0%, (I know… really good but that’s what it was.), and by the time our papers were signed it was back up to 6.0% in a matter of hours. Which makes a big difference in monthly payments, just thought that was strange … maybe not?

I know my credit score isn’t great but I was wondering just roughly what to expect for an FHA loan. I know you don’t take a huge hit as long as you are at or over 580
