Getting a mortgage is a lot more complicated than just getting people to quote you rates. In fact, if someone is not taking a full application from you BEFORE they quote you rates and terms, they are either purposely misleading you or they really don't understand the mortgage business. Many things are factored into the equation by lenders when they are qualifying you. Credit scores, debt-to-income ratios, loan-to-value ratios, your ability to document enough income, etc., all play an integral part in the qualification process. Without knowing everything about you and your individual situation, no one can give you an accurate quote regarding rates on specific loan programs.
Loaning money is all about assessing risk. The greater the perceived risk that a lender has to take when making a loan, the higher the interest rate will be as compensation for taking that risk. On the norm, a person who puts a 20% down payment on a home purchase (or has at least 20% equity in his property when refinancing) will most likely have a lower interest rate than a client who finances his house 100%. Lenders give the best rates to borrowers whose properties have a loan-to-value of 60% or less. Anything above that will result in slightly higher rates. Good credit scores will carry lower interest rates as well, so be mindful of your credit history. Likewise, lenders give the best rates and terms to borrowers who can document enough income to qualify. The less documentation you can provide, the greater the risk for the lender- so they will charge higher rates. Other limitations may be imposed as well in these circumstances.
