30 Factors That Influence Your Mortgage Rate

All banks and lenders use risk-based pricing models to determine the final interest rate of a loan.


Promotional interest rate offers found online or sent in the mail are often based on ideal scenarios that do not reflect the borrower’s actual eligibility.


No rate quote is final until all factors have been evaluated. In almost all cases, this requires a full loan application including a credit report and income documentation.


It's also important to remember that the loan with the lowest interest rate may not be the best or most affordable loan available.


The mortgage loan process is complicated, so it’s important to work with a quality lender like the Boles Group mortgage professionals at Bay Equity Home Loans in Gilbert.
