Key insights
While the Fed controls the overnight money rate, it doesn't directly dictate 30-year fixed mortgage rates. Mortgage rates are influenced by bond market fluctuations and investor anticipation of Fed policy changes, sometimes moving inversely to Fed rate adjustments.
Mistakes to avoid
Going to a lender who doesn't specialize in investment property or short-term rental financing can result in a deal falling through due to a lack of understanding of underwriting requirements and suitable loan products.
