CashCall Mortgage Offers Home Buyers a 15-Year Fixed Rate at 3.875% with No Upfront Fees
Business Wire
For the first time in decades, homebuyers can qualify for a fixed rate
loan that’s below 4%. CashCall Mortgage
http://www.cashcall.com,
one of this country’s premier consumer finance lenders, is the first and
only lender to offer a 15-year, fixed rate mortgage at 3.875% (APR of
4.245%). Will other lenders follow CashCall’s lead? That’s hard to
predict, particularly when so many banks are restricting new loans. For
now, it’s CashCall that has come to the rescue of American homeowners.
This extremely consumer-friendly rate arrives at a perfect time for
American families seeking affordable home loans. Through CashCall
Mortgage, they can now qualify for loans up to $417,000 at an
historically low rate. In general, CashCall’s mortgage rates are
consistently lower than those offered by the vast majority of US banks,
including Wells Fargo and Bank of America. In addition, CashCall is
making the process easier and less expensive for consumers by offering a
free 30-day rate lock, guaranteed closing costs and no upfront fees of
any kind.
CashCall’s founder and president, J. Paul Reddam, has been in the
mortgage business for more than 25 years and this is the first time he
has seen a rate below 4%. “When I started running mortgage companies in
the mid-1980s, the rate was 11½%,” Reddam explains. “When the rate
finally came down under 10% everyone thought it was really something.
Now, CashCall’s rates are under 4%. This is astonishing and I am proud
that we were the first to shatter the 4% barrier.”
There’s not a lot of fine print with these mortgages. They’re simple,
straightforward and consumer-friendly. The 3.875% mortgage is fully
amortized with a 15-year fixed rate. CashCall, Inc. extends loans with
rate and term refinances at 80% loan to value with impounds, and a
minimum FICO score of 740. The loans are for families wanting to
purchase or refinance a home, so the property must be owner occupied to
qualify.*
“Our goal was to make mortgages less expensive and less of a hassle,”
says Reddam. “Being able to offer a 3.875% fixed rate loan without
upfront fees is groundbreaking for CashCall and for our industry. Today,
anyone who owns a home is in a good position to refinance. I expect
millions of Americans will be running, not walking, to capitalize on
this historically low rate.”
