I just today had a meeting with my bank to discuss a loan and mortgage rates. I didn't like their numbers so now I have 45 days to shop around to other banks for a lower interest so my credit score doesn't get fucked.

I'm not even really sure what I am doing lol.

Right around a 3% interest rate and I'm shopping for a $200-$300k loan.

(Hoping to find a home MUCH closer to $200k)

^ that lol... the complicated and stressful shit happens when they ask for all documentations and when the underwriter comes to you with a bunch of questions.

Have someone recommend you a mortgage broker.

Its complicated because they were giving loans out for nothing back in 2008 and look what happened

I just got a home myself.

I don't know where you live, but 3% is amazing here in Mass. That's the rate I got.

Go for local/smaller banks

3% isn't terrible, but you can probably find better if you look around.

I wish they'd do that again. I'm financially responsible unlike most of the people who got amazing rates and low monthly payments back then along with super cheap homes.
