Why is my FHA RATESI HIGH

According to both lenders over 660 for FHA gets you the highest rate but I've been quoted today 4.375 and in 2/13 3.99, neither of these are close what others with 660 or less scores and no credits/points are getting

Re: Why is my FHA RATESI HIGH

I hope you get a reasonable answer, as you know I'm having the same issue.

There has to be a reasonable explanation.

I don't know the answer unless it's just lender based !

Re: Why is my FHA RATESI HIGH

4.25% is fair

 

any cheaper would cost points.  4.00% would cost between .75 - 1.0 points. 

 

i am only seeing banker rates. brokers sometimes have a little sharper price... but they are more of a hassle to deal with... not much, but a little.

Re: Why is my FHA RATESI HIGH

Yes we do. I really like the guy I'm working with, but this is going to end up costing me a bunch over the life of the loan.

I was actually beginning to question if he was pulling the ole car loan special, where the guy makes extra money by convincing buyers of a higher rate than he was quoted by the banks.

I really don't like feeling this way.

If you like working with the guy, I'd stick to him. I don't mean to cause ripples since I'm just looking at what rates are on my end. Rates are fair and competitive, timing is a big thing since we are in a rising rate environment.

hard to say. maybe the increase is based off estimated taxes or something.

 

hard to say without looking at both estimates

Re: Why is my FHA RATESI HIGH

It is based off estimated taxes but still scarey to see that increase
