Rate = Risk

The higher the risk, the higher the rate.

The best way to lower your rate is to minimize your risk in the following areas:

Credit – Increase your scores by obtaining sufficient credit. Maintain your credit by not using more than 30% of the revolving line of credit & making more than the monthly payment on time! Season your accounts. Every new account needs to show at least 6 months of payment history before it will help you.

Income – Stay consistent in your line of work.

Assets – Take advantage of 401K’s offered by your employer, especially if the company matches a portion of your contributions. Keep a savings account of at least 2 months of your housing expense as reserves.

Property - 100% financing shows no equity position in the property. The more you own of the property vs. the amount borrowed will decrease your risk.
