Since interest rates down, we’ve considered a re-fi of boat loan ( vs pay down)
Any banks or other loan entities to suggest based on positive experience?
I've been hearing that a lot of banks are currently at or reaching capacity to process loan applications. Meaning that based on staffing numbers, there is up to a 1 year backlog to process refinance applications. Of course, I'm sure they're prioritizing new loan applications.
This is leading the banks to be a bit more choosy in the qualification requirements as well. They have little incentive to go on a hiring spree to increase the overhead in human capital in a effort to drive DOWN revenue.
We had really good luck (believe it or not) with Key Bank. We did a $0 down, 15 year loan. They actually beat all the credit unions and even USAA on rates and down payment requirements...
