what does it mean to "float a lock"?

"You have the option to float your rate (not lock in) and wait 30 days before closing"

TIA!

Re: mortgage people

We did this... we floated until the rate went down to what we wanted. It's risky b/c the rates can go up and it's a PITA to constantly call for the rate every day but it was worth it for us. When the rate hit what we wanted we called to lock in.

ETA: What's the rate now?

I would lock if you haven't.

IMO, rates are not going down any time soon.
