Lifetime Rate Protection Guarantee Terms
The interest rate for the Lifetime Rate Protection Guarantee is calculated by taking the rate on the current Fannie Mae 30 year 30-day required net yield (RNY) rounded up to the nearest eight of a percent (.125%), at the time of lock, plus (+) a margin based on the loan amount (please see below). The current Fannie Mae 30 year 30-day RNY can be found by visiting www.fanniemae.com.
Loan Amount of New Mortgage 
$0 - $124,999 
$125,000 - $199,999
$200,000 - $299,999 
$300,000 - Conforming Loan Limit
Margin 
Not Applicable (N/A)
 +2.5% (two and one-half percent)
 +1.75% (one and three-quarter percent)
 +1.5% (one and one-half percent)
Example:
If the 30 Year 30-day RNY is at 2% and the new mortgage amount is $350,000 then the Rate Protection Guarantee rate would be 3.5% (2% (RNY) + 1.5% (margin) = 3.5% Rate Protection Guarantee Rate). This is for example purposes only; the actual RNY can be more or less at the time of lock. The current Fannie Mae 30 year 30-day RNY can be found by visiting www.fanniemae.com.
Disclosure: 
The Lifetime Rate Protection Guarantee will be treated as a mortgage loan refinance transaction and must meet current underwriting guidelines. Not all loans will be approved. The loan will be locked for a 30 day period and may be subjected to lock extension costs or re-pricing. All final rate calculations can be sent to you in writing. Optimum First Inc. reserves the right to amend the terms of this guarantee at any time.
