Side question: What are mortgage rates going around right now for those buying rentals? Are they around 5%?


Mine have been 5.75%. These are for 5 year balloons.

also if we do get a correction from wall street expect to rates to tumble towards 4% very quickly.



Thanks for your input. That's what I figured, but the Dow is down 600 this week but the rates keep marching higher.

Would you advise locking in a rate at this time, if closing at the end of the month?

I have a question for yall. I'm closing on a house on Feb 14th. I currently own my house. My plan is to start renting my current house when I move into the new one. Is my initial mortgage company going to try and change my rates or anything cause it's not primary residence or am I in the clear because it was my primary residence for 5 years?

I locked in a rental at 4.5% for a 15 year conventional last week with .250 points. Would have been 4.95% for a 30.

There should be no change to your 1st mortgage. In my experience, subsequent mortgages have a higher rate to account for multiple mortgages. The lending risk should already be built into the one you close on in two weeks.
