What does the FreeRateUpdate Mortgage Rate Finder do?
The Mortgage Rate Finder gives you one place to review current network-wide “As Low As” mortgage and home equity rate information, then choose the financing goal you want to explore. The published figures are general rate information, not a personal quote or approval. A licensed lender or broker must review your details before offering terms.
How do I use the Mortgage Rate Finder?
Review the rate and APR table, choose a loan goal such as purchase, refinance, cash-out refinance, home equity, HELOC, or home improvement, and follow the questions for that path. FreeRateUpdate uses the details you provide to connect you with lenders and brokers in its network that are licensed for that business.
Does the “As Low As” rate apply to every borrower?
No. It is the lowest rate, paired with its corresponding APR, that FreeRateUpdate can currently verify from lenders and brokers in its network. It is not a quote. Your rate and APR depend on your credit profile, loan amount, property, equity, loan product, points, lender costs, and market timing.
What should I compare when reviewing mortgage offers?
Compare the interest rate, APR, points, lender fees, loan term, estimated payment, cash needed at closing, and rate-lock period using the same loan scenario. A lower headline rate can require points or carry different costs, so compare each lender’s Loan Estimate rather than one number alone.
Is FreeRateUpdate a mortgage lender?
No. FreeRateUpdate is a marketing lead generator. It does not make loans, issue loan commitments, or set the rates and terms a lender offers. Lenders and brokers in the FreeRateUpdate network review the information you submit and decide which options, if any, they can offer.
| Purpose | Review current network rate information and explore a financing goal |
|---|---|
| Loan goals | Purchase, refinance, cash out, home equity, HELOC, and home improvement |
| Published rate | Network-wide “As Low As” information, not a personal quote |
| Compare together | Rate, APR, points, fees, term, payment, closing cash, and lock period |
| Your result | Depends on your details and the terms a licensed lender or broker offers |

Ohio Mortgage Rates
Ohio doesn't get anywhere near the attention it deserves on a national level. Still, savvy homebuyers across the country are making a point to appreciate all that the Buckeye State has to offer, including everything from world-class healthcare and big-city living to friendly neighbors and sprawling farmland.
Common Ohio Loan Types:
- Ohio conventional mortgages: Conventional mortgages are made by private lenders without FHA insurance or a VA guaranty. Loan availability, qualifications, down payment, mortgage insurance, rates, and fees depend on the lender, borrower, property, and program.
- Ohio FHA loans: FHA-insured mortgages are made by FHA-approved lenders and are not limited to first-time buyers. Eligibility and down payment depend on the borrower and property; loan limits and mortgage insurance vary by location and loan details.
- Ohio VA loans: VA-backed mortgages are made by private lenders for eligible borrowers who meet VA and lender requirements. Some qualified purchase borrowers may use no down payment, while entitlement, appraisal, occupancy, funding-fee rules and exemptions, and lender requirements still apply.
Program information: FHA (HUD) and VA.gov.
