FHA Lowest Mortgage Rates

FHA lowest mortgage Rates. Finding the best mortgage rate may not be as easy as simply identifying the lowest interest rate available. The criteria a mortgage shopper should apply must begin with the question of how long they plan to hold onto the mortgage and retain ownership of the property. There is no reason to consider the option of paying points and fees to buy down the interest rate when a borrower does not plan to own the property long enough to re-coup (or at least break even) on the closing costs. The second criteria that should be used in determining whether to buy the interest rate down by paying point and fees, is whether a borrower is refinancing (refinance mortgage rates) or purchasing the property in question. When refinancing, points and fees have a different tax treatment than if the transaction involves a purchase. Deducting points and fees typically has a more favorable tax treatment in a purchase transaction rather than in refinancing when the deduction of points is normally amortized over the life of the loan and not deducted in the year they are paid as is typically the case in a purchase.
