What determines your mortgage rate?

Credit Score

Higher credit scores typically get lower rates because they predict you’re more likely to pay back your mortgage.

Debt-To-Income Ratio

Lower debt predicts you’re more likely to be able to pay your mortgage. So a lower DTI can mean a lower interest rate.
