7-1 ARM fees that I paid, March, 2011
(03/31/11) In response to those asking about the fees in relation to my 7-1 ARM, on a 296k loan, at 3.125%, I agreed to the following: 1% point ($2960); processing fee $695; underwriting fee $795; wire transfer fee $17; MERS search fee $6.95; Appraisal $445; Tax service fee $57; Flood certification $15. The rest will be handled by my own attorney to arrive at closing. Thoughts please? by ARO1975 from New Haven, Connecticut. Apr 1st 2011

The processing and underwriting is lender profit of $1490 plus the 1% of 2960, depending on the options it may have made sense but on ARM loans you really want to limit the expense as you don't have long to recapture the costs.As a rule of thumb I don't like my clients paying any points on ARM loans unless there is a special situation

To give you a comparison, my fees would be $395 for processing; Underwriting is $945 (includes wire transfer, MERS, Tax Service, and Flood); Appraisal is $350.Net, I would be about $341 less. Yours isn't too bad.
