minus-squareAlexstarfire@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoIn the US a fixed rate does not expire. At the end the loan has been repaid. I do not know of they are in the US.
minus-squareuranibaba@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoHow does that work? You take a loan, negotiate a rate (say 3%) upfront, and you have this rate as long as the loan is not payed?
minus-squareAlexstarfire@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoYes, though I’m not sure what you mean by not paid. You have monthly payments for the loan.
minus-squareuranibaba@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoI meant payed off. So if I borrow $100.000 at 3% interest rate, I will 3% for the entire duration of the loan? Even if FED increased the rates to something else?
