re: Buying a new house

Definitely shop around. Banks don't always give the best rates. I used Nola Lending Group the last 2 times and they were good to me. You should check with at 3 or 4 companies and see what they offer. Let them pull your credit and shop your mortgage. It doesn't affect your credit. After 60 days I believe the inquiries don't affect your score because it is expected for people to shop mortgages for the best deal. Good Luck!
