FAQs



Why does a 15 year fixed-rate mortgage cost less than a 30 year?


A 15-year fixed-rate mortgage typically costs less over the life of the
loan because you ll pay less in total interest payments. With a 15-year
mortgage, you re borrowing for half the time of a 30-year loan, so the
total interest you pay will likely be much less.



How is my mortgage rate determined?


Your mortgage rate is determined by factors like your credit score, down
payment, loan amount, and the current market conditions. These things
help mortgage lenders determine the risk of lending to you.



What factors influence mortgage rates?


Mortgage rates are influenced by factors like the overall economy,
inflation, the Federal Reserve s policies, and your personal financial
situation, including your credit score and down payment.



What is a mortgage rate lock?


A mortgage rate lock is an agreement with your lender to secure your
interest rate for a set period, protecting you from market fluctuations
while you finalize your home loan. It gives you peace of mind, knowing
your mortgage rate won t increase before closing.



Can I get a lower mortgage rate?


Yes, you can potentially get a lower mortgage rate by improving your
credit score, increasing your down payment, or shopping around and
comparing offers from different lenders. Small differences can lead to
significant savings over the life of your loan.



How does my down payment affect my mortgage rate?


Your down payment affects your mortgage rate because a larger down
payment reduces the lender s risk, often leading to a lower interest rate.
Putting more money down can also help you avoid mortgage insurance,
saving you even more over time.



Are current mortgage rates expected to drop?


It s hard to predict exactly where mortgage rates will go, as they depend
on various factors like the economy and Federal Reserve actions. While
some experts speculate on future trends, it s best to consult with your
lender for the most current insights. You can also keep up with current
mortgage rate trends by following SoFi Daily News.

FAQs



Who should refinance their student loans?


Student loan refinancing is a great solution for working graduates who have high-interest, unsubsidized Direct Loans, Graduate PLUS loans, and/or private student loans. Federal student loans do carry some special benefits, for example, public service loan forgiveness and economic hardship programs, that may not be accessible to you after you refinance. Check out this blog post that provides more information: When to Consolidate Federal and Private Loans by Refinancing. Or, call us for a free consultation about your particular situation.



Is it worth it to refinance student loan?


The answer to this question depends on your specific financial situation. However, student loan refinancing may be a good option if you can qualify for a lower interest rate and/or a shorter repayment period. By reducing your rate and getting a lower monthly payment term, you’ll owe less interest over the life of the loan and save money in the long run.



Can I refinance both federal and private student loans?


Yes, SoFi will consolidate all qualified education loans.



Am I a good candidate to refinance my student loans with SoFi?


SoFi aims to revolutionize financial services—ultimately improving the system for everyone. Today, we’re able to offer significant savings and flexibility to US citizens or permanent residents who have graduated from a selection of Title IV accredited university or graduate programs, are employed, have a sufficient income from other sources, or hold a job offer with a start date within 90 days, have a responsible financial history, and a strong monthly cash flow.



What is the difference between consolidating and refinancing student loans?

Student loan consolidation is when you combine multiple loans into one single loan. Student loan refinancing, on the other hand, is when you get a new loan at a new interest rate and/or a new term. You can refinance both federal and private loans. Learn more here.



What’s the difference between fixed and variable rate loans?

Fixed rate loans are loans that have an interest rate that does not change over the life of a loan, which means you pay the same amount each month. It also means you know with certainty the total interest that you’ll pay over the life of the loan. Fixed rate is a general term that can apply to different types of loans with a variety of uses, including student loans, mortgages, auto loans, and unsecured personal loans.

Variable rate loans are loans that have an interest rate that will fluctuate over time in line with prevailing interest rates. They generally have lower starting interest rates than fixed-rate loans, but the interest rate and payment amounts can change over time. Sometimes they are also known as floating-rate loans.

Find more info on Fixed vs. Variable Rate Loans.




Where can I find more information about student loans in general?

Deciding how to best handle your student loan refinancing can be an intimidating process. That’s why we’ve put together our Student Loan Help Center to give you guidance on existing student loan payments, refinancing, budgeting, and common terminology so you can feel more confident in your journey to becoming debt free.

2Fixed rates range from 4.24% APR to 9.99% APR with 0.25% autopay discount and 0.25% direct deposit discount. Variable rates range from 5.99% APR to 9.99% APR with a 0.25% autopay discount and 0.25% direct deposit discount. Unless required to be lower to comply with applicable law, Variable Interest rates will never exceed 13.95% (the maximum rate for these loans). SoFi rate ranges are current as of 3/27/24 and are subject to change at any time. Your actual rate will be within the range of rates listed above and will depend on the term you select, evaluation of your creditworthiness, income, presence of a co-signer and a variety of other factors. Lowest rates reserved for the most creditworthy borrowers. For the SoFi variable-rate product, the variable interest rate for a given month is derived by adding a margin to the 30-day average SOFR index, published two business days preceding such calendar month, rounded up to the nearest one hundredth of one percent (0.01% or 0.0001). APRs for variable-rate loans may increase after origination if the SOFR index increases. The SoFi 0.25% autopay interest rate reduction requires you to agree to make monthly principal and interest payments by an automatic monthly deduction from a savings or checking account. This benefit will discontinue and be lost for periods in which you do not pay by automatic deduction from a savings or checking account. The benefit lowers your interest rate but does not change the amount of your monthly payment. This benefit is suspended during periods of deferment and forbearance. Autopay and Direct Deposit are not required to receive a loan from SoFi. You may pay more interest over the life of the loan if you refinance with an extended term.

0.25% Direct Deposit Discount: Terms and conditions apply. Offer good for Student Loan Refinance (SLR) borrowers that apply for a new SLR on or after 9/17/2024. To be eligible to receive the 0.25% interest rate reduction offer: You must (1) Complete a Student Loan refinance application with SoFi beginning September 17, 2024; (2) Be approved by SoFi for the loan meeting all SoFi’s underwriting criteria; (3) Have either an existing SoFi Checking and Savings account, a SoFi Money cash management account or open a new SoFi Checking and Savings account within 30 days of funding the new loan, AND receive a direct deposit of at least $1,000 to the account within the first 30 days of funding the new loan (“Direct Deposit Account”); (4) Be the primary SLR account holder. If eligible at SoFi’s sole discretion, you will receive this discount during periods in which you have received direct deposits of at least $1,000 every 30 days to a Direct Deposit Account. This discount will be removed during periods in which SoFi determines you have not received at least $1,000 every 30 days in direct deposits to your Direct Deposit Account. You are not required to enroll in direct deposits to obtain a Loan. This discount lowers your interest rate but does not change the amount of your monthly payment. SoFi reserves the right to change or terminate this Rate Discount Program to unenrolled participants at any time without notice.
