Mortgage Rates

Description

Mortgage Rates is a great value-add for any mortgage officer or real estate agent looking to provide good-looking, functional, valuable mortgage content to readers. The execution of this infobox is superb from the smooth sidebar integration, modal window trend and AJAX-based graphs that are incredibly visually appealing. It’s a great little mortgage application that delivers a lot of value in a user-friendly and well-executed way.

The mortgage plugin uses external JavaScript to update mortgage rates from https://www.mlcalc.com/mortgage-rates/ served by CloudFlare CDN.

Mortgage Rates Shortcode

Use the shortcodes on different pages:

[mlrates]

specify default values:

After testing multiple mortgage calculators on the WordPress repo, this is by far the best one. I can insert the calculator anywhere using a shortcode and the setting page provides many options.

Seems to be pulling the correct values from the documented page. However, I wish there some more customization available.
