What is the difference between "locking in" an interest rate and "floating"?
If you are concerned that interest rates may rise during the time your loan is being processed, you can "lock in" the
current days interest rate. You can lock your loan for up to 360 days. When you "lock in" an interest rate, you are
guaranteed that rate for the agreed upon length of time. The benefit is the security of knowing your interest rate is
fixed if interest rates should rise.
