minus-square@uranibabalink2•1 year agoHow does that work? You take a loan, negotiate a rate (say 3%) upfront, and you have this rate as long as the loan is not payed?
minus-square@Alexstarfirelink2•1 year agoYes, though I’m not sure what you mean by not paid. You have monthly payments for the loan.
minus-square@uranibabalink1•1 year agoI meant payed off. So if I borrow $100.000 at 3% interest rate, I will 3% for the entire duration of the loan? Even if FED increased the rates to something else?
minus-square@Alexstarfirelink2•1 year agoYep. That’s why people who got these historic low rates are going to be very resistant to moving. Myself included.
