If it makes anyone feel better when we bought our house we had a very low rate of 7.5%.

Sadly that was a very low rate

Yeah seems a little high to me then

FWIW - I was offered a loan at 2.875%, but is now at 3.125% due to recent fluctuations.

Rates jumped a bit late last week but have retreated a little since then. Certainly worth getting another quote.

What does appt mean in this context? I'm seeing 3.125 at my credit union and 3.25 at my primary bank for 30 year fixed jumbo (and conventional).

How is your credit score? Many of the lowest rates you see are for really good credit. But I don’t think that is way high

This was the loan rate I got last summer. What you get depends on a lot of factors (the biggest one for me was location, since co-workers in other states were getting better rates at the same time, and my credit score was over 800, so that wasn't a negative factor), but I couldn't go lower without paying points, and I ran the numbers and it wasn't worth the cost. The break even was too far into the future for it to be worth paying the points. If things stay low long enough, I'll probably refinance at a lower rate.

I got approved 2 weeks ago and have 2.875. It was with US bank.

I closed in Dec for primary home at 2.5%. 20% down
I just refinanced my investment property last week at 2.875%

Excellent credit above 800.
My loan officer did tell me last week current rates are 3.125% or higher for investment property.

For primary hoe I think you can get better with good credit and 20% down

Is this without points? I got 2.9% with like $8K in points :(

Rates jumped last week due to bond yields.

However, if you only got one quote, go shopping.

Start with a site like LenderFi.com. The rates I've seen there are competitive.

From a banking profit perspective, if you have good credit, a good old rule of thumb is mortgage rate = 10 year t bill rate +~2%, or 30 year t bill, depends on your mortgage.

Hi all - any advice for a first time real estate investor looking to make their first purchase at the end of 2021.

I plan on saving $50K, for a $350-400K property in the Long Island, NY area for my first property. Does this sound reasonable? And does anyone have any experience & advice investing in the LI area?

Id like to rent it out for some positive cash flow that I can then start using to save for my 2nd property (sounds easy when I type it).

Thanks all for your input - stay safe!

I’ve interviewed for several positions AVP and VP roles since October of ‘21 internally with Citi. Didn’t take any of them because it would have been only $8k - $11k salary bumps. For double or even triple the work. So I’m leaving to go from $70k to $235k in September at a competing firm for a VP level role. The moral of the story: hop if you need to. No reason to stick around for low pay and not being compensated fairly by the company that expects “loyalty” from you.
