Determining Your Mortgage Interest Rate

Understandably, one of the first questions we’re asked from potential borrowers is “What will my interest rate be?” But the final interest rate on your new loan will be based on your past credit history, the loan-to-value (LTV) of the property, and other risk components associated with the deal. And before we can provide a valid financial quote we’ll need to work together to build a suitable package for the lender or investor to underwrite. The final rates and terms you receive will be based largely on you – the borrower.

In addition to interest rates there are other factors you should consider if your goal is to obtain the best overall financial package and return on your property as an investment. For example, the terms of a mortgage loan can be just as important as the interest rate.
