Published Mortgage Rates Can Be Misleading

All banks and lenders use risk-based pricing models to determine the final interest rate of a loan. Promotional rate offers published 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 of the following factors have been evaluated. This requires a full loan application including a credit report and income documentation.
