    Any nationwide lenders you would recommend? So far I'm only working with a local one.

    I recommend checking Costco if you are a member. The lender fees are capped and their rates are competitive.

    I just locked 1.99% for a 15 year loan with a lender I met through Costco.

    If you’re in TN give this guy a call. If you aren’t in TN give him a call anyway and he can get you a contact in the state you live in. He and his associates serve multiple states

    Preacher Matt

    +1 (270) 570-5417

    He is a broker and can shop multiple companies for you to get the best rate and terms

    Also,as mentioned above,Costco could be very competitive as well

    Good Luck Everyone

    Wells Fargo generally has good rates on a 30 Yr Fixed. They can be slow to work with. Quicken seems good. You can look up reviews on local brokers on Yelp or Google too. I know business is up for the industry, so it may take some time to get things done.

    I just do a refi with ally bank. Super simple using there portal to upload everything and closed in 2 weeks. 15yr 2.25 keeping balance the same and bringing 2800.00 to closing. Notary showed up to sign all the papers. Definitely was super easy and they were able to skip the appraisal so they refunded me the 550.00. Keep in mind I did not do a escrow for HOI or property taxes.

    Be careful. You could end up with money in your wallet and bank instead of a credit card and a mortgage:)

    This is a very tricky subject. I had a similar problem when I took a loan. I was "green" at this subject and I made some big mistakes. But due to Mortgage Advice Hull, I resolved all my problems. My advice is to hire a specialist that could give you the right piece of advice. These guys that I mentioned, are true professionals. They found easy solutions to my problems. Also, they answered all the questions I had. You could contact them, and I am sure that they will solve your problem.

    I am calling mortgage company on Monday to get my payoff. I fully expect them to push a refinance. When they do I am going to ask if they will refinance based on my unemployment payments. Last time they suggested I refinance I said do you think it makes sense if I am paying it off in 3 years. They said probably not and I said you are correct.

    Reviving this thread with the low rates again. Just went from 30yr/3.65% to a 15yr/2.24%. Payment going up a bit, but shaving 10 years off the loan and will save around $100k in interest this way. :thumbsup: Having a house paid off well before retirement will be nice

    Sweet, nice work!
    We did our refi with Aimloan.com this February and got 2.0/15yr with no points. I'll be in the same boat, paid off house 5+ years before retirement.

    I wanted a faster vehicle so I also bought a Chevy SS... because 4 door sedans with big V8’s are hilarious.
    We did a VA IRRRL down to 2.25% on a fixed 30 at the beginning of the year.

    It was either pay off the mortgage completely which we have the ability to do, or refinance and invest in more property. Unfortunately the market is idiotic right now, so not buying another house for rental purposes like we had planned. At least not a vacation home to do VRBO with.

    Also tossing a wrench in the works is my dad passed away last fall when we were looking for a vacation home. My mom is now in her mid 60’s, widowed and looking to relocate to my area. The current plan being kicked around to keep her quality of living, standard of living, and independence as high as possible for as long as possible is to combine resources and build a nice approximately 4000sq-ft home with two master suites and her own area with a 3-4 car garage. I haven’t even lived in the same town since I was 18 years old, and have been about 850 miles away for the past 15 years.

    My mom has a nice place and owns it free and clear so she’s planning to sell it within the next year. I advised her to sell it now and just move, I have 3000sq-ft and plenty of bedrooms to make it work until the market settles down, or at the very least building materials come down.

    My 3 year old son will be super pumped to be able to see his grandma more often though, and she needs to enjoy her grandson. Sooner would be better.

    I started the refi process in November of 2020 and it took 200 days to complete the refi. It was a horrible experience. The refi company totally dropped the ball and communicating with them was impossible. Never ever do business with NewRez. Stay away from that company.

    On the plus side we went from 3.8% to 2.8% and we were able to drop PMI. Our mortgage payment is less than $1k a month now.

    I have learned after doing a few mortgages that mortgage brokers are a shady bunch

    my dad has been in the real estate business for 30 years. Even at the age of 15 I described his office as Mos Eisley. A place filled with scum and villainy

    Just completed refinancing mine with Rocket Mortgage...went from 4.1 to 2.8. Highly recommend them! Customer service was beyond exceptional and the entire process took less than 20 days. I will never use another mortgage company other than Rocket Mortgage ever again.

    I completed my refinance back in late March. Went from 3.875 to 2.375. I had 21 years left on the loan, so with the lower rate I dropped down to a 15 year. For some reason taking out $12k got me a much lower rate than if I did not. So I used the $12k to pay off our travel trailer since it was at a 7% loan. All in all, with the camper loan paid off and reducing 6 years off my home mortgage, my payment is the same as my previous house payment and camper payment. I will break even on the refinance after 2 years and we plan on living here at least 3 more years, at which point both vehicles will be paid off.

    I stayed on a 30 year mortgage and use extra income to invest in stock market and crypto memes :) ROI of over 35%.
    Sometimes its good to carry some debt to free extra income for other things.
