I'm sure those of you with outstanding Stafford loans can attest, you've been bombarded with requests to refinance before the June 30th rate hike.

Those of you looking to purchase a home in the immediate near future (where this issue lands on my doorstep) should also see a forthcoming interest rate hike.

Just an fyi to get the ball rolling. The difference between 6.5 and a worst case scenario 8.5 % over a 30-year fixed (not to mention your P&I monthly payment) is absolutely nut-shriveling.

I love my 5.6% interest I have on my current loan. It just SUCKS that we're selling to move and will be buying a new home before the end of the year. I know interest is going be at least 2 points higher. :-o

Man...I really missed the boat on that stuff. I should have been looking for houses...now I'm gonna get screwed if I do decide to get one. :,-(

Luckily the only remaining loan I have from school is a no interest one... :-D

The Dude is buying right now, and the best rate I could get is 6.75%

Its a bummer man.

Anything below 7% is a good rate. May not be the crazy good some people got but it is still very good. When rates go above 7% then you start getting into not so good. Anything above 8% is horrible. So get em while they are hot!
