The **** would you go with a variable rate loan 4 years ago?
How low did they think it would get? |

When I bought my house, I got a fixed rate that was over 7 percent. Rates kept going down and I kept refinancing. I think I was paying at or under 3 percent when I finally paid the house off. Maybe I should have done ARMs for 20 years. But I didn't know that we would have 20 years of declines. At some point I got a HELOC at some ridiculously low rate, and that's what I used for my last big rehab project on the house (redoing the kitchen, adding a deck, finishing off the third floor, etc.) I think it might have been under 2 percent, so I paid off the main mortgage before I paid that one off. At some point the lender stopped offering it, and that was a sad day. |

My LOC I use on my Rental properties is at 8.75% also. It has to renew every year so I get the bullet. They were going to put it at 10.5% this last renewal and I called the President of the bank and said LOOK. I've been with you since 1998, never been late on a payment, had over 30 mortgages , would you at least drop it to my current rate on my rentals at 8.75%, and he said he'd talk to loan committee. They called back an hour later and said that would work. WooHoo , excited about an 8.75% loan victory. LOL
And what's funny is that the loan officer that's been there 20 years said she had no idea they were even negotiable. Dumb bitch! |

30 years were in the 3’s 4 years ago
If you took an ARM in 2020 then you deserve it |

Taking an ARM at the time gave me the best interest rate 10 years ago. I'm almost out from under my mortgages completely so timing worked out OK. I got 15 year Mortgages with 5 year ARM's and have paid ahead on everything. 12 more months and I'm debt free. I'm selling a couple properties and will dump about 150K into high yield dividend funds and pull 50% of those divi's to finish paying off my existing debt.
