why not BOA?
My mortage is with BOA currently and I talked to them about refinacing and they want stuff that makes no sense.
yeah BOA is out.
I'm talking with golden oaks and Im gonna get a rate about 2.8
but can you explain how
2.8% rate is actually 3.4% APR?
Thats pretty much what they told me for a 30yr mortage and I dont understand those numbers

Years ago before the housing crash, people with solid credit could get a no closing fee loan. They were not uncommon.The rate and APR were almost identical. Hundreths of a percent apart. 2.9 rate 2.94 AzpR. Thats what you want.
Today, a good solid loan will have a rate and APR less than .25% from each other.
If thats confusing, dont ask for the rate, ask what their APR is. If your happy, thats most important.
Rate and APR variances above that, too many fee's and add on that are getting buried that your paying back over the length of the loan.
