2.5% on a 30 or 15 year?



30yr. 15yr is probably lower

Rate and Term only on Conventional loans

Tim Garrett is a broker with Homeowner's Mortgage. He got me 3.25%, the best rate available through United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM) last year.

He was able to beat USAA, NFCU and Assurance.

If you are interested in the UWM deal, he might be worth a call. 225-907-3524

15 year/2.625%
$191,639 Payoff
$3,360 Closing costs financed
$195,000 Total loan amount

$2,315.55 cash to close

Can you break this down more? $5k+ closing costs on a <$200k loan seems high to me. However, this number will include your prepaids/escrow, so it’s hard to factor in. If your Insurance and Property Tax accounts for $3k or more of this, then you’re in the ball park.

Damn 2.5% on a 30 year? Would be really curious to hear what the 15 year is.

Also would be sad since I closed with uwm on a 15 yr at 2.75 a month ago.

No points to the question further up the page. Local lender, buddy of mine who I went from 30-20 with in 2016.

Initial escrow is $1,952

I should add that I didn't shop around at all and have nothing to compare these fees to, other than popping in this thread here and there. Hence my initial question. I'll be going from 16 yrs @ 3.75 to 15 yrs @ 2.625 FWIW. According to my crude calcs it will save me around 20K over the life of the loan. We don't plan on going anywhere.

I close on 5/27 with Assurance and my rate lock was at 2.625% as well.

My closing costs with escrow are a little lower than yours..around $4,700-$4,800. My new loan amount is 158k. No appraisal was needed, and I'm getting $200 off lender fees and $200 off the title work.

Can I get a cash out refinance if I have two mortgages? I have 9 years left on 1 and 17 left on a second. I’d like to make the 9 year a 15 and take out extra money to buy a rental. But I’m not sure about cash out refinance when I have two different mortgage lenders.

Buying the market after stalling for 30days. Attacking Quicken also

The loan cannot have been with UWM within last 18mnths and its Purchase or Rate/Term Conv only

That's the catch

More catches than just that.. they are charging 10 basis points for every single day pass the initial lock period which is insanely high considering how short of terms they are locking people in for.

It was for me in the Baton Rouge area. Beat GMFS and Union Home anyway.

No points, $2900 all in closing costs (excluding property taxes and HO insurance). Appraisal waiver.

2.75 on 15 year.
