A fixed interest rate loan is a loan where the interest rate doesn't fluctuate during the fixed rate period of the loan. This allows the borrower to accurately predict their future payments. Variable rate loans, by contrast, are anchored to the prevailing discount rate. A fixed interest rate is based on the lender's assumptions about the average discount rate over the fixed rate period. For example, when the discount rate is historically low, fixed rates are normally higher than variable rates because interest rates are more likely to rise during the fixed rate period. Conversely, when interest rates are historically high, lenders normally offer a discount to borrowers to fix their interest rate over time, as rates are more likely to fall during the fixed rate period. Some fixed interest loans - particularly mortgages intended for the use of people with previous adverse credit - have an 'extended overhang', that is to say that once the initial fixed rate period is over, the person taking out the loan is tied into it for a further extended period at a higher interest rate before they are able to redeem it.

GNU Free Documentation License Is it possible to consolidate my student loans in a fixed interest.? Q. I have two loans with high interest rates of 9.5% and 10.5%. How can I lower the interest rate on these loans and/or get a fixed interest rate. Asked by golfking100 - Wed Sep 26 15:27:00 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. There are a few company's that offer private student loan consolidation however they do not grantee a fixed rate or a lower payment. The only benefit is marking payments to one lender and if both of your loans are already through one lender there is no point. Edit: The only loans you are garunteed a locked rate on are federal loans. Answered by aplesauce_cheese - Wed Sep 26 19:01:29 2007 What is the difference between Fixed rate of interest and Floating rate of interest? Q. Related to bank loans. Loans are provided as personal, home or vehicle loan. All banks specify fixed or floating rate of interest. Please give brief description on this. Asked by The Real - Fri Jun 12 19:31:16 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. fixed means you sign a contract at the rate offered now and it will never change. people do this bc you never know if the rate will go up.. but you may lose out if the rate goes down.. its a gamble either way floating means your rate will go up and down with the market Answered by jess - Fri Jun 12 19:36:25 2009 Fixed mortgage, while interest is low am I paying off a lot more capital each month?
Q. While other kinds of mortgage payments have dropped in line with the interest rate, a fixed rate stays the same. Does this mean that whilst the payments are much higher, the amount of capital paid off each month is more. (its a capital & interest type) Asked by allante666 - Fri Dec 5 07:40:20 2008 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments A. Stop. You might see interest rates dropping, but mortgage rates have not dropped. Interest rates on home mortgages have held very, very steady. Now, think about this. The feds have basically made the bank lending rate 0. That means interest rates WILL only go up from here. If you get yourself tied up in a short term fixed ARM. In 5 years your interest will triple, and you may lose your home. Stay with the fixed. Right now with 20% down they are at 6%. With these loans, there are no prepayment penalties, so you can pay extra principal if you want. You can even pay your home 10 years earlier if you want. / Answered by Judy - Fri Dec 5 07:52:25 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "fixed interest"
