Any tips for getting the best deal on a mortgage?
I just went under contract for my first house. I will be putting 20% down, have excellent (760+) credit, plan to live in the house for at least five years, and am debating if it's better to shorten the term of the loan to reduce the interest rate or take a 30 year and invest the difference in the monthly payments.
I'm pre-qualified with a credit union and plan to check bankrate.com for other lenders. Anything else I should do to find the best lender?
