[@bettysmith7045]

Just refinanced and all fo this is true! One bank was trying to charge me points (even though my credit score is over 750) and extra fees, a total of 3K over the other bank, AND the rate was 3.35%. The other bank had 3K less in fees, got rid of my PMI because I met the 80% after appraisal, and my rate is 3.125% (no points)! Shop around, because as this guy said banks will try and rip you off, the first loan was through my credit union too!

[@WinTheHouseYouLove]

Great insight!

[@BlessedVivi]

My credit union offended me

[@MrDerekRobinson]

I'd say you're being ripped off paying well over 150k all because you decided to borrow 200k. The whole system is rigged. I'd rather pay cash for a house. Perfect credit just to rip you off. More like Perfect candidate to reliably make money off of

1st time buyer here: Great video by the way! Ive been approved by a lender and currently looking for a house. When do you actually shop mortgage deals with a Lender/Broker? When you have a contract in place or in the beginning when you're just starting to look at houses/now that I've been approved? Just learned that I need to shop a Broker too, great content, very helpful. Thank you!!

[@WinTheHouseYouLove]

Ideally before you go under contract

[@jannycal]

Kyle, I really don't understand why interest rate is not a cost? Could you maybe do another video with a detailed explanation with calculations etc?

[@chinnid5671]

Hi Kyle , I just love ❤️ how explain things , could you explain in detail , what is point stuffing?

[@WinTheHouseYouLove]

Thanks for watching! Point stuffing is when a lender adds up front costs to lower the rate.

Thank you for quick reply , can I have your phone number that you shared on the other video the other day?

[@vettriley675]

I just wrote on one of your other pages, The question I have now is the rates are like 2% plus and maybe a little higher, Do you still recommend going up a little higher on the rate to save money when refinancing. I love your content.

[@WinTheHouseYouLove]

If it works for your situation then yes :)

[@cohenmarioman]

Main issue I see with taking a higher rate to get a lower cash at close is in the future either interest rates may go up or you may be in a different financial situation and can’t refi to the lower rate. For example a spouse who had income included now isn’t working (kids, whatever) and won’t bring income to the table.

[@WinTheHouseYouLove]

Thank you for sharing your perspective.

[@bigworm3886]

The down payment section about smaller loans being more expensive blew my mind.

[@WinTheHouseYouLove]

It's wild! So many little rules in the mortgage world that can make big differences!

[@benjaminprice3219]

Loved this. Low cost ?? If currently approved for 2.85% with 3% down, its about $10k to close it up... should it utilize your strategy to ask for a higher rate then refinance in a month or two? Is that even possible?

[@WinTheHouseYouLove]

Thanks! I doubt a refinance that quickly would provide you with enough savings to offset the cost.

[@stephenmacknik3212]

Kyle, doesn’t the APR act as a total cost analysis as it combines the effective cost of all fees and the rate over the lifetime of the loan? So we should compare APR’s over rate and that’s the same as total cost analysis?

[@WinTheHouseYouLove]

Excellent question! The APR would indeed function in a similar way to a total cost analysis with one big flaw: it won't show you the trend through the years. The APR will only really tell you the total cost at the end of the loan. Loans have different "momentums" of their cost through the years. e.g. Loan A might be cheaper in years 1-8 and Loan B might be cheaper in years 8 - 30. So, something like a total cost analysis can help you analyse the timeframes that result in the best choice since most people don't hold on to one specific loan until maturity.

Hi, I'm trying to refinance my house. One company wants me to refinance back to an FHA cash out and took out an higher interest rate of 4.725 with a $2500 closing costs & the appraisal is included in the mortgage. While the other company offer me a conventional cash out with a 4.125 with a $10 closing costs. However, I'm planning on doing another refi in 6 months to get a better interest rate. Which company should I go with? Help!

[@WinTheHouseYouLove]

It depends to you but for me I'd get the lower interest. :) best of luck!

[@chrispena4119]

What does it mean if a lender says Par rates arent available?

[@andrewesquivel5442]

but when you refinance to that lower rate, there are closing costs again no? so that strategy doesnt make sense to me. The getting a higher rate now for credits

[@WinTheHouseYouLove]

Yes, but minimal. The benefits almost always outweigh the costs.

[@karpisoganyan]

You put less down to get a lower rate but you end up having monthly mortgage premium. How does that makes sense? Also, if you are financing a higher loan amount when you do less down, so you're paying more interest in the life of the loan

[@WinTheHouseYouLove]

You put the remainder on the 1st payment and then MI falls off.

[@karpisoganyan]

@@WinTheHouseYouLove you have to be at 78% for mi to fall off, if you were going to do 20 down, you have to bring 2% more. Better option would be put that 15% into improving the property, like adding a ADU, it creates value, you can rent it out and call your lender to do a appraisal and remove mi

[@celpower]

Despite having a credit score over 800 I was told by my lender that I HAD to escrow taxes otherwise i would have to pay a higher rate. I also had to pay half a point to get the rate i thought I was going to get to begin with. I know rates went up slightly (2.88%) but when I locked my rate it was 2.75% and then when it was time to process the docs I learned I had to pay a half a point to actually get that. I felt a bit robbed. And I am putting 20% down. This person said they had various lenders to shop from.

[@WinTheHouseYouLove]

That's frustrating! Some lenders do charge a waiver fee. Most that I've worked with don't
