Please let me know where I can get a guaranteed 8% return on my investments so I can move some of them there.
There are no guarantees unfortunately, but there are consistently performing index funds: Vanguard - Benchmark Returns (I'm not a financial adviser by any means so take it as a grain of salt)
I actually don't recommend you assume LS will beat all other rates by .1%, it is pretty hit or miss, the only way for sure to get them to do rate beat is to get full documented approval (not pre-approval) from the other bank in writing (with their letterhead and offer details) and then mail or fax it to them.
They have really tightened up their criteria for matching other loans... for example a few people gave up on them matching Allegacy since Allegacy would not provide enough documented proof of loan rate for LS to act on.
I've updated the notes section to reflect this sentiment. Thanks!
