This is NOT a mortgage loan approval or commitment to lend.
The actual fees, costs, and monthly payment on your specific loan transaction may
vary, and may include city, county, or other additional fees and costs. Mortgage rates
are offered exclusively through Rate, Inc. and are subject to change without
notice. The payment amount does not include homeowners' insurance, flood insurance
(if applicable), or property taxes that must be paid in addition to your loan payment.
The displayed Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is a measure of the cost to borrow money
expressed as a yearly percentage. For mortgage loans, excluding home equity lines of
credit, it includes the interest rate plus other charges or fees (such as mortgage
insurance, discount points, and origination charges). These mortgage rates are based
upon a variety of assumptions and conditions, which include a consumer credit score
that may be higher or lower than your individual credit score. Your loan's interest
rate will depend upon the specific characteristics of your loan transaction and your
credit history up to the time of closing. Refinancing may cause finance charges to be
higher over the life of the loan. Rate, Inc. has no affiliation
with the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, the US Department of Veterans
Affairs, the Nevada Department of Veterans Services, the US Department of Agriculture,
or any other government agency.
