I understand interest rates are set by central banks who monitor inflation, unemployment, and other stuff but I don’t see how lowering interest rates could reduce unemployment.

I have a total of 3 mortgages and I am about to buy 5 more houses. I have heard (not from an expert but he sounded like he was speaking from experience) that once you get up to a certain number of debt or number of mortgages on your credit, it can drop your score, is this true?

My mortgage has been sold to CitiMortgage, along with basically all of ABN Amro’s mortgage business.

I have had mortgages with ABN Amro for the past decade, I liked their service, and they never sold my mortgage.

My question is, I know that each lender discloses the percentage of mortgages they anticipate selling (ABN Amro sold 0-25% on average). What percentage does CitiMortgage run?

Do they normally keep mortgages or sell them?

This question is specific to CitiMortgage, not the industry as a whole.

In other words, are the values of just the faulty sub-prime mortgages being affected, or are the values of all American mortgages affected?

My friend owns a property and casualty agency..this agency wants to begin working with a bank (assosciated with NAMIC) to be the middle man and basically go find people who want to refinance and do all the paperwork and then have the bank handle the processing. My question deals with the inherent problems that this century-old insurance bank will have when dealing with mortgages, and for only 7 years now.

Now that the Canadian dollar is at parity with the US dollar, I’ve been hearing in the news that the Bank of Canada will be hiking interest rates. What is the reason behind this? How exactly does the dollar affect the interest rate? Thanks!

If one is prime rate. Credit score above 780. Are the final interest rates they quote you lower than what is advertise on their website? I am considering using a mortgage broker however their rates seem higher than the bank + the cost seems higher. If the rate is what they advertise, I might just go to the bank directly first and save my time. The mortgage broker seems to be on top of things and most likely have better info on closing etc. which is their only selling point but if the interest rate is higher than the competitor I am reluctant to go with it since they will hit my credit score if I apply. Simply put money is money a little .25% can equal 60K over the life of the loan. Something that could sit in investment generating returns for me.

In general what is the difference in the interest rate for prime/ A credit scores? Are the advertised rates using prime rates or just average rates?

Thanks in advance
