Is 40% contingency fee too high?
In general, contingency fee percentages range from 33% to 40%, depending on the amount the client could potentially win, the strength of the case, and other factors. I have seen contingency fees as high as 50% (for small cases) and 15% (for very large cases).
Can interest rate be negotiated?
Yes, you can try to negotiate the interest rates presented by the lender. Generally speaking, well-qualified borrowers have more negotiating power than those who are marginally or poorly qualified for a home loan. You can also use prepaid interest points to negotiate a lower mortgage rate from the bank.
What if mortgage rates drop after I lock?
If you have locked in and the rates then drop, you may be charged the higher (original) rate by some lenders. The rate lock fee may not be refundable if your loan gets declined.
Is it worth refinancing for .75 percent?
Refinancing for 0.5% or less with an ARM or high loan balance. Many experts often say refinancing isn’t worth it unless you drop your interest rate by at least 0.50% to 1%. “A large loan size may result in significant monthly savings for a borrower, even when rates dip by only 0.25 percent,” says Reischer.
