Rocket Mortgage: an honest look at the rates and the fine print

Rocket Mortgage is the country's largest online mortgage lender, known for a fast, fully digital application and strong customer-satisfaction scores. Convenience is its edge; its rates and fees are competitive but not always the lowest, so it pays to compare a Rocket quote against a local bank or broker.
