Financing
Interest Rate
Annual mortgage rate. Pricing varies by occupancy, program, borrower, property, leverage, points, lender, and lock date.
Why Interest Rate matters
Rate materially changes payment and modeled cash flow. Compare current written quotes on the same terms and stress a higher-rate case; a generic market spread is not a quote or approval.
How to check Interest Rate before you rely on it
Compare written quotes on identical terms: same loan amount, same points, same lock period, same occupancy. Ask whether the quote is for an investment property, because owner-occupied rates are lower and often quoted by default. Then rerun the analysis at a rate one point higher than the quote; if the deal only works at today's rate, it depends on the market rather than on the property.
