The lock-up period may last as long as 180 days. In some cases, though, the lock-up period is graduated, meaning that after the initial 180 days you can sell an increasingly larger portion of your shares over the next two years. After the lock-up period ends, you are free to sell all your shares if you wish.
However, such a long lock period comes at a price. In some instances, a lender will add a premium to current mortgage rates -- 0.125 percent to 0.5 percent is common -- to allow you to lock in this new interest rate. Each point is a fee of 1 percent of the (final) loan amount, and you could see a two or more point fee to get such a long rate lock.
