(06/11/2010) After seeing or hearing an advertisement for a supposed “great rate” on a 30-year fixed mortgage, how often have you wondered precisely how “great” this rate really is? Thanks to the website, ERATE.com, you can find out right from your Apple iPhone or iPad.
ERATE.com, which hosts tables that feature the best rates from various lenders in your area, has created an iPhone app to make this information accessible while on the go. The easiest way to find the app is to go to the Apple App Store and search “ERATE.com.”
This app adopts some of the features of the online rate tables, such as sorting columns. Furthermore, the information is easy to read and with a single click, you can contact the lender for more information about a home loan you are interested in.
In addition to mortgage rates, this application can also give you the best credit card rates currently being offered. This could come in handy when you are out and on the go. For instance, if you are offered a credit card while you are away from a computer, before applying for it, you could check the rates on other current credit card offers to see how it stacks up.
Of course, when you are at home or have access to a computer, ERATE.com is one of the best resources for the mortgage news and the best mortgage, savings, and credit card rates.
