Betty H. asked:


Would someone explain to me in plain English (think “Mortgages for Dummies” here) what is included in APR?
I know what APR stands for and everything. What I’m interested in is what is included in the APR that brings my rate from something like 6.5 up to 6.7? That seems like a lot of money over 30 years so I want to know what I’m paying for.

I’m looking for the best rates and they seem to be very competitive. I’ve had checking account with them for 6 months or so and have been pleased with their service so far. Has anyone taken out a home loan with them yet? Was it a good or bad experience?
Answers from Schwab customers would be appreciated. I’m only interested in answers pertaining to this company.
