Current mortgage interest rates are at a 2 year low. If you haven’t looked into refinancing, now is a great time. FHA rates are as low as 3.25% fixed. Fannie Mae rates are as low as 3.5% fixed. VA rates are as low as 3.25%. Coastal Lending Group has the ability to “lock and shop” the interest rate. Prior to closing, as the market improves, you can capitalize on the improvements with a lower rate or higher lender credit!
