It is VERY nice. I pay double payments anyway, all the extra to principal, and it is going down very nicely.

It turns out my broker says she was only able to run (or only received 2 scores) so the 697 was treated as my middle score.I asked if my interest rate would be better based on a score of 751 vs. 697 and she told me no, the rate would be the same. She said there's been an uptick in rates in the last week or so from the high 5% range to the low 6% range. She considers my credit great with a 697 and I have been pre-approved.Is 6.35% a reasonable rate or can I get a better rate with scores of 697, 751 and 752? No debt to speak of and an income of 90K.Thanks for your help...

I just applied on Monday with a broker I previously worked with and have been pleased with her promptness and professionalism. Was pleased to receive the pre-approved paperwork so promptly, but the 6.35% did strike me as high.Based on my scores, income and lack of debt, what do you think is the most reasonable interest rate I could qualify for?Thanks.
