Being that a credit report costs about $2 I would say that is a little excessive.

that seems like a high appraisal fee. I think mine was $300-$400.

todays fha rate is at 3.25% and the lender gives you a credit towards closing in LA.,
no need to pay for origination, discount, processing,credit report and appraisals in LA are $450 max, title fee are all within a $150 difference.
on an fha loan, you have to have upfront mtg insurance,no way around that plus underwriting fee from lender is standard.
flood fee is standard across the board.
at closing closing you can opt out of owners title insurance but must have basic lenders title insurance.
call if you have any questions, 225-291-7901 x 224

Well, the origination fee is virtually non existent with the discount, so I guess there isn't much need to bitch about the processing fee and underwriting fee. But I would bitch about both of those if I had an origination fee also. The appraisal seems steep, but it may be in line depending on your property type. Credit report fee's are usually like $15 bucks. Attorney fee and closing/escrow are not excessive. I can't really comment on the endorsements without knowing your property specifics, but that would be a lender's ins. requirement.

Unless they did credit repair on you the credit report fee is excessive. Appraisal shouldn't be more than $450. Why are you paying a discount fee. You shouldn't be buying down a rate with current interest rates. 1% orig is standard but you can get out of it if you ask. So, you are paying too much. Are they giving you any lender credits?

First, the $ should be in front of the amount. If you have at least 5% to put down, get a conventional loan. The interest rate is higher, but the PMI rate is less.
