I really don't understand why people use escrow. Loaning someone hundreds of dollars for free each month doesn't seem too swift to me.

^ i believe mortgage companies require it (for insurance & taxes)

Uh, that's just how it is, if you have a mortgage. It's a requirement. Get used to it. At least if you go with SECU though, they give you some interest on your escrow account. Most others do not.

It makes sense when you think about it. Mortgage companies don't want to lose their investment because you didn't pay your taxes or you don't have insurance & the house burns down. This is just their way of making sure their investment is protected.

I just found out that it is not required. Why the hell are people always commenting on subjects which they know nothing about?

I'm still paying taxes and insurance, just not 1/12 of them each month.

Go with Marcus Martin at Equity Services Inc.

I looked up many many referrals, and this is the guy my 60 year old buyers agent has used for the last 10 years. He doesnt normally find anyone who can beat his rates, and he has almost ZERO fees, and thats what it comes down to.

When I went to closing, the attorney I used said that ESI is the best he knows of in the area as well, and used him for his own mortgage. 259 commitment fee, no points, no origination, and a great base rate.

So I was thinking about getting out of my 4.75% 2-year ARM from SECU (circa 2008).

I was hoping to get into a 20 or 15 year fixed, and so far it looks like Coastal Federal Credit union is in the lead with 3.875% and 3.25% interest, respectively (about $2k required at closing, for both). They do require $40/month in PMI until I hit 20% equity, but I'm not too worried about that.

1 - Any other lenders I should be looking in to?

2 - Should I gamble a bit and wait a little longer? Seems like we've been at historically lowest rates for a long time now, and from what little bit I pay attention to those thing it seems like there's a solid chance they may head even lower.

What say you TWW?



In case anyone is wondering, here's a breakdown on that $2k:
Orig fee - 148
Underwriting fee - 400
Appraisal fee - 400
Tax service fee - 60
flood cert - 11
Attorney fee - 500
Title insurance - 352
Recording fee - 85
Escrow prepaids - 450
"Appraisal fee paid" - minus 400 (not sure whats going on here)

I used coastal to refi. They had the best rate and things went fine, but I really had to stay on top of them. Why not go with the 30 yr fixed at your age though?

No shit? There are calculators that recommend lenders based on personal experience AND predict future mortgage rates? Fuck man, quit being coy and link that shit up already.

It's pretty nuts reading through this thread. We just closed on a house with 4.0%. Glad I didn't close on a house in 2006.

1 - The amount that's going towards principal every month is pretty pitiful, and wouldn't be much improved with a 30 year.
2 - Lower interest rate with the 15/20.

I don't have the exact numbers in front of me, but it seemed like I could double the amount going to principal with only a small increase in payment (compared to my current 30 year 4.75 ARM)

Couldn't you just make an extra mortgage payment each year applied directly to principle?

^^ i had a suspicion that's what he was trying to say. so the idea is instead of putting that $100-$150 extra into my mortgage put that in a money market or something? thing is i'm really trying to get the lowest interest rate i can...so not getting a 15/20 would be counterproductive to that.

^ sure i could get a 30 and do that, but the interest rate would be higher.

I kind of just meant in general. Whatever your loan is, if the goal is to pay it off faster, it would seem that an extra payment applied to the principle would help speed the goal along. Guess it really depends on the terms of the loan though.

Nah, I wouldn't put it in a money market. Doubt you'll be able to get a better rate there. I'd buy some mutual funds or something with a higher roi.

Can't remember the site I used when I got my 15 year fixed but it was *like* lending tree where you enter property information and are presented with the days best mortgage rates and companies offering them...but don't use lending tree. they seem to require allll you personal info to present companies and rates.

edit pretty sure it was https://www.bankrate.com/

Provident Funding or Wyndham Capital

Wyndham has slightly better rates but is not as quick to review requested materials. Had all my shit together from a new purchase just a few months earlier and just got it done in time.

Provident was negligibly higher but the dude was on the spot. He was offering 3.25% with 0.875% lender credit. That said, I owe below 60% on my castle and have near perfect credit (best rates)

I'm just locked a rate with Bank of America last week, but based on what ^ said, I just put in an application at his recommendations. I was at 3.875% for a cash out refinance with 0.661 in discount points paid to lender, but Provident is advertising 3.5%. That may not sound like a lot, but it is basically $80/month.
