Question about Interest Rates (loan, fixed rate, credit score, 30 year)

[micheleroll]

Does the interest rate you receive have anything to do with your credit? I got a 6.00 interest rate and I feel that I should get a lower rate. Please fill me in asap because I need to change this rate today.

Thanks

what makes you feel you should get a lower rate?

Rates vary on many things.

1. credit score
2. Loan to value
3. Conventional or government?
4. 30yr fixed, 15yr fixed, 5yr ARM, etc
5. Full Doc or stated

[micheleroll]

is 6% for a 30 year fixed rate. Our credit score is 640. So I guess we are lucky to get the interest rate that we have.

[renriq02]

rates have went up tremendously in the last 2-3days.

Someone with an 800 score will probably get 5.875%-6% with 20% down...Full Doc 30yr fixed, and paying 1 origination fee

6% is a very decent rate in today's market. Are you paying any points/origination fees?

Conventional or FHA?

A 640 will get a substantial price hit on a conventional loan today, unless the borrower is putting 40% or more down.

Pricing is worse again today.

I too have to ask why you "feel" you should get a better rate. Do you have any basis??

Anything under 7.0% is good on you money but the lower the rate the higher the points/fees its like a teder todder theres no way around it peep the fees
