Unless you accidentally called the subprime unit, HSBC Finance company, which was the old Household Finance, which stopped new loan originations due to losing their ass, that info is incorrect. ---

Yup that is what I did. I guess they are two different entities. Got off the phone with HSBC mortgage **company** and they couldn’t beat my best rate thus far. But they did just offer me 4.8% ---

I cant believe rates were at 4.71 earlier this week for a 30 year fixed. Christ, why cant this be 2011 when I’ll be ready to buy a duplex. I figured it out and the savings of a 100k loan w/20k down at 4.71% compared to 5.5% is about 18k over a 30yr loan. fml.
