HARP 2.0 through current lender is a little more than $10k to close

Dear Monrovia, MD,I think the interst rate is high. I do not know about the overall expense of the fees. What do they include? I think it would be prudent to get a second opinion on rate and fees. You can't go back and redo HARP again. Regards,MD licensed

Call me and I know we can get this done for you at a lower rate and lower closing costs. Lynn @ 804-677-8588 (c)

When you get a chance to look at the paperwork, it will be important to know the costs exactly are. Does the fees include monies for escrows (taxes and insurance)? I can help you break it down, if you would like. That way you can understand the process better.

You absolutely can get a Harp 2.0 wth closing costs less than 10K. Our company doesn't charge any origination points. The only fee you pay is the escrow set up and the title fees. Depending on your annual hazard and taxes. You are probably looking at 5-6K at the most. Please feel free to contact me @ 443-610-2442. I look forward to hearing from you!!

Without seeing the complete proposal, it's hard to say but in general, you're paying too much.. Under HARP 2.0 you cannot finance more than $5000 in costs, so I would check your numbers just to be sure.. 2nd, it looks like the rate is high as well.. My guess is that your getting quoted from your current lender or a "Big Bank"... and that's your biggest mistake... contact a LOCAL mortgage broker, not the bank, and not one of those 50 states internet lenders... the local broker will always have lower costs and better rates.. plus he has access to numerous lenders where he can find the right match for your particular scenario..

You need to get a second opinion. $10,000 might not be high if that includes the escrows for your taxes and insurance. In Utah where taxes are relatively low, taxes can add $2,000 - $3,000 to the settlement costs - but you will get a refund from your existing lender the funds you have in your escrow account. Some borrower prefer to pay the escrow funds since they will be getting most of it back. Some people don't want to bring anything to closing so they roll the escrow into their loan. 4.75% seems high to me - but more information is needed. Interest rates is determine by credit and loan to value. You should contact one of the Lender 411 mortgage professionals and give them the specifics about your situation. I am sure they can help you out. Good luck, Linda

Put on your shoes and run that rate is too high. If you're looking for an honest breakdown and best case scenario contact us.

RUN! Run as fast as you can AWAY from these guys. Cap or no cap, these fees are too high. You should be looking at closer to 4.5 with no Origination/Discount. You will have to pay other fees, like Underwriting, Processing and Title and fresh funds to your impound account, but no way $10K, and certainly not for 4.75. Contact a local Mortgage Banker /Broker. DON'T use one of the big banks, DON'T use one of the big national Mortgage factories, and DON'T use the people you are currently making payments to. A big benefit is that your local Mortgage Banker has access to all the lending sources, allowing for an easier fit into the lender or program that makes the most sense.
