For those in CA, Interactive Mortgage is legit and have one of the lowest rates. Not as quick to close as Owning.com, but IM is definitely up there. Intelliloan is also posting crazy low rates and have good reviews too, so once I pay my first mortgage payment in Feb, going to try to refi with them ...

With fees?

It shows 2.29% apr which I assume includes all fees. Looking for real life quotes to see if they try to sneak in additional fees.

Anyone ever try Intelliloan? They are advertising 15 year 1.75% and 30 year 2.1%.

Anyone being serviced by TMS that has been able to request biweekly payments instead of monthly? This would cut the amount of time to pay off your mortgage due to 13 months of payments per year instead of 12. If so, did you just email them and request it?

I'm approaching closing this week as communicated by my new lender. they requested the payoff statement from my current lender and that states the payoff balance as of Oct 26th. Few generic questions I have - - Does it mean my new lender can't disburse funds before Oct 26h? - if they do, would the ...

If disbursement is tomorrow and rate lock expires day after, do I need to worry about extending the rate lock? Or is it all over once the disbursement occurs?

Can someone explain the cash to close section for a refinance? Loan amount = $500,000 Total closing costs (J) = $3000 Estimated total payoffs and payments = -$502,000 Estimate cash to close TO borrower = $1000 If my current mortgage statement has a up to date payoff balance of $495,000 (since I've ...

Thanks for the confirmation, that's what my gut was saying. I still plan to refinance again shortly after if rates continue to plummet. :sharebeer No problem. I'm one of those weirdos around Bogleheads. I don't advocate "pay off your mortgage" and I don't advocate "invest instead of ...

Just run.

BrandonBogle, I want to thank you for the insight that you have provided in response to my questions. Based on your insight and some other success stories, I locked with Better with $9K cost for A+B+C+E. The Loan Processor then matched competing LEs twice as they came in. I was confirmed by the LO ...

I have a contractor scheduled to replace siding on my house starting in two weeks, with a city permit being pulled. Will this interfere with the appraisal or any other part of the refinancing process if I begin now? Currently at 53% LTV, 3.625% 30-year FRM. House valued over $1 million (CA Bay Area...

I suspect rates will start to go up soon. It is true that the rates will eventually go up. But how quickly? Several weeks ago, Feds chair said that "We’re not thinking about raising rates, we’re not even thinking about thinking about raising rates." Even a mortgage company like Better sen...

Hey guys, Just locked in a 2.5% conventional 30 year fixed with Owning.com. Since I have over 50% equity, they didn't charge me the 0.25% origination charge. Absolutely no closing costs at all: No origination, No title charges, No recording charges. They gave me lender credit of $1104.00 to cover a...

Yeah, that's sorta where I'm currently at, difference between 2.75% and 2.65% and the lender credits, rate diff outweighs the immediate $ within the first year, where's it's several in the diff @ 2.5. What do you mean by "no escrow"? Opting to pay taxes/insurance yourself, even with the p...

The only thing I would add is since you're purchasing the house with this transaction (not refinancing) then how quickly they can close is probably even more important then minimizing fees if you don't want closing to take 2 months. I've repeated this a couple times only because I have been in the ...

For better.com, there is an option to close using an electronic closing process. This electronic closing option is done by a third party and costs $50 fee. Seems like a notary is still required in the end. Has anyone paid this fee? Is it worth it? Does it lower the notary cost?

I haven't read all 58 pages of posts in this thread, curious if there's a post - or something in the forum wiki - that explains what situations are attractive to refi providers to provide good deals, vs what's not. I'd reached out to a couple of refi providers whose sites provided me far worse #s t...

Just a general note (regardless of lender) that I personally feel that the inputted value for estimated home value likely plays a major role in determining eligibility for an appraisal waiver. It is my theory that if the inputted estimate value is higher (or within a certain $ or %) of what the aut...

Lender is saying Fannie Mae is requiring full appraisal. Is there something I can point to that states Fannie Mae is temporarily waiving full appraisal requirements for COVID and exterior appraisal is allowed? If it's a refinance, you still need a full appraisal under Fannie Mae. Here is the guidan...

Just locked in with Better.com a 15 year @ 2.5%. Cost excluding escrow $226. Their initial rates were not competitive at all. Best I got was 2.5% with $1226 closing with LenderFi. Sent the offer to Better.com, they matched rate and beat it by a $1000. Also confirmed that I will also get the $2500 A...
