A Colorado lender's 'lock-in' on an interest rate means:

AThe borrower is locked into the lender and cannot change lenders, as a general rule
BThe interest rate is guaranteed for a specified period while the loan is processedCorrect
CThe property is locked from other offers while under contract
DThe borrower cannot pay more than the minimum monthly payment

Why The interest rate is guaranteed for a specified period while the loan is processed Is Correct

Answer B: The interest rate is guaranteed for a specified period while the loan is processed

A rate lock guarantees the borrower a specific interest rate for a specified period (typically 30-60 days) while the loan is processed and the property is under contract. This protects the borrower from rate increases during the loan processing period.
