Factors that Determine Your Mortgage Interest Rate

Interest rates are still very low making it a fantastic time to buy or refinance a home at the Lake of the Ozarks. Our mortgage lenders in Osage Beach, MO are constantly tracking interest rates. When looking to secure a loan, the interest rate is an important factor. It's essentially the rate you are charged to borrow money. The interest you pay on a loan can be a significant amount, especially when paying toward it over 30 years. Team Lasson, knows how it is important to get the best rate possible for your loan and we work hard each and every day to do just that for our clients. While there is a national average for interest rates, each individual applicant may receive a different rate, when applying for a home loan. There are many factors that come into play when determining the mortgage interest rate you receive. Take a look below at some of the factors that can have an impact on your rate. 

Purpose & Loan Type

The purpose of the home you're purchasing can have an impact on your overall interest rate (i.e., Primary Home, Second Home, Investment Property, etc.). The type of loan you're securing can become a determining factor on your interest rate, as well. It's best to speak with a local mortgage lender to be aware of all the loan options for your specific needs. 


Loan-To-Value

The total loan amount vs. the purchase price or appraised value for a refinance of the home may determine the rate of interest you'll pay on your loan. The amount of down payment you plan to pay can impact your interest rate as well as determine whether or not you will need to carry Private Mortgage Insurance. 


Credit Score

Your credit score is your rating of how well you manage your money and repay debts, among other things. A strong credit rating can help you secure a loan at a lower interest rate. A good score proves to the lender that you are likely responsible with your money and much more likely to make your payments in a responsible manner. 


Overall Economy

The market sets the overall market rate and is the main factor in determining the interest rate on a home loan. Inflation and employment rates give lenders an idea of how healthy the market is as a whole. If the economic environment is strong, interest rates tend to rise.

Now that you've learned about many of the factors used to determine an interest rate, you can feel more confident and prepared as you plan to purchase a home at the Lake of the Ozarks. Our team is here to make the entire process a breeze! Call (573) 746-7211 or visit our website at www.yourlakeloan.com for more information.

5 Reasons BUYING is Better than Renting

Buying a home is a big step but in many cases, it's the best option! Renting has a few perks but the benefits of homeownership usually outweigh them. Our Lake of the Ozarks mortgage lender gets asked about the benefits of buying a home at the Lake of the Ozarks versus renting. And that's just what we're dedicating our blog to answer this week. Check out the top 5 reasons Team Lasson believes buying is more superior to renting. 

1. Long Term Investment

Real estate is typically a solid investment. Over time, the worth of your home may increase, therefore offering you a great return on your investment. A mortgage is typically a 30 year loan, although many buyers don't stay in their first home for that long -- it's still important to think long term when investing in a home. 


2. Predictable Monthly Payment

Rent payments can change with little notice and typically increase year after year. The monthly payment your lender quotes you is usually what you can expect to pay on your home until your property is paid off. This number may fluctuate a little as your homeowners' insurance and other factors can impact your monthly payment, but you can usually plan your budget well in advance as to what your mortgage payment will be each month. This helps when budgeting and planning for future financial goals. 


3. Provide a Stable Environment

Having a solid home base can provide a sense of security. Get out of the yearly cycle of finding a different place to rent and plant your roots in a home. Moving frequently can be exhausting and quite frankly, a big added expense. Provide yourself and your family with a stable environment when you purchase vs rent. 


4. Create Your Own Space

Many first-time buyers are excited to be able to make their house a home. You can paint the walls any color you'd like, hang pictures and decor on the walls without the worry of getting a deposit back, and make exterior changes to make the home yours. There are so many avenues to get your creative energy out and to put your own personal stamp on your space!


5. Personally Rewarding

Buying a home is a big accomplishment and something you should be very proud of. Give yourself the opportunity to show pride in what you are able to do and provide for your family! It really is a rewarding feeling to be a homeowner.

Whether you're particularly excited to experience one of these homeownership perks or you're excited for them all, allow our Osage Beach mortgage lender the honor of helping you become a homeowner at the Lake of the Ozarks! Our team of experienced lenders can walk you through the steps of getting preapproved for a home loan at the Lake of the Ozarks. Call (573) 746-7211 or visit our website at www.yourlakeloan.com for more information.
