To be approved at the lowest non owner occupied mortgage rates, borrowers do not need to have the highest credit score. In addition, the consumers need a reasonable debt-to-income ratio. Most lenders will qualify borrowers at a maximum of 50 percent of overall debt to household gross monthly income. Some borrowers with significant assets or income will be able to qualify even with slightly lower credit scores or higher debt.
No matter what the economy looks like, mortgage rates change on a daily, even hourly, basis. Rate fluctuations can cost or save you thousands of dollars. With that in mind, the question when shopping for a loan is whether it's best to lock in a rate or float the loan. Either way, there's risk.
It's your choice the rate-lock option means a borrower fixes the price at the current mortgage rates, provided he or she finalizes the loan within a specified period. The upside is that you are protected against a potential mortgage rate increase. But if the rate goes down, you could end up paying more than necessary. The "float" option, by contrast, allows the borrower to adopt a wait-and-see approach. The risk remains, though: If rates do rise, you wind up losing money.
Locking current mortgage rates is a good idea if rates are on an upward trend, so take time to understand the market when you're shopping for a home loan. If prices aren't fluctuating by much, or if they're moving downward, it would be better not to lock. Locks typically last for 30, 45, 60 days or more. The longer you lock, though, the more likely it is that you'll have to pay a fee for the privilege. Mortgage rates are low, encouraging home buyers and homeowners to look for new mortgages. Some mortgage borrowers are opting for a shorter mortgage term of 15 years because the monthly payments are more affordable because of today's low mortgage rate.
