but now a loan agent is telling me that she couldn't get my loan because my
OPT status, even though I just had my new H1B approved (OPT and H1B under
the same employer).
Is this true? Anyone knows. Urgently need help!!!
Thanks a lot! |

发帖数: 2712 | 2 GFE不是loan commitment， GFE是在loan正式开始申请的时候disclose给客人的收费估
算表。正式的GFE是把客人的信息输入系统之后，自动生成的一份文件。如果只是shop
around，LZ只需要问清楚note rate，有没有point，和银行收费就可以了。并不需要
GFE来做比较的。
loan commitment是审批通过之后lender才会issue的，与GFE是不同的文件，基本没有
关系。 |

会有0.25的adjust,所以最好的办法就是把doc准备好，请loan agent帮你在一天之中最
好的时机来锁。对一个400K的loan来说， 0.25就是1K的rebate |

发帖数: 347 | 8 banks normally would not make mistakes on this as this is very standard
procedures.
Depending on your old amortization schedule, your loan terms will be
shortened and your last payment amount will be changed because the tail will
be adjusted to ensure your early pay towards principle is reflected.
Give an extreme case. If you pay $10, for most of loan, the loan term will
stay same. But your last payment will be changed due to early pay although
the amount is little. |

For No Point No Fee refinancing, the lender will give you rebate to cover
your closing cost in terms of fixed percentage instead of fixed amount,
whereas the closing cost has no significant difference between $200K and $
400K loan. |

发帖数: 1474 | 10 Those loans are probably underwritten by the bank and hold as their
portfolio instead of repackage and sell through secondary market.
Usually loan ready to sell through secondary market has to conform wth Fannie Mae rules and can get better rate. Loan not sell through secondary market may have loose application criteria and easy to get approved based on bank's underwriting rules, usually more flexible than the Fannie Mae rules. |

发帖数: 1564 | 17 用一个mortgage broker做refinance两次了，觉得她的利率不是最好，还要自己交
appraisal fee。现在正在做第三次。材料已经更新签字交了上去。
现在和另一个mortgage broker联系上了，利率看起来要好一点，虽然他也没有给个准
确的数字。这个mortgage broker还把appraisal fee给cover了。
我想给第二个mortgage broker也交一份loan application，这样两家的利率就都不是
大约估摸出来的，就可以比较了。
可以给两个mortgage broker同时交loan application吗？如果用了一个，没有被用的
那一个有什么损失吗？loan应该还没有被originated。我知道broker要花20块钱查信用
分的。还有别的费用吗？
明白的给指点一下吧。谢谢。 |

发帖数: 268 | 32 Thank you so much for your reply! We do want to move to the new place and

发帖数: 994 | 33 这个才是正解，以前的lender可能会被investor要求买回之前的mortgage loan，因为
那个loan是secured by primary residence mortgage，而不是investment property；
前lender有几个选择：
1. 要求LZ将那个房子refinance成investment propert；
2. Report给FBI，因为现在anti-laundry law要求lender report suspicious
activity，毕竟LZ在签之前的1003的时候claim的就是primary residence；
3. 把退回来的loan卖给其他机构投资者。
LZ要是有心，可以把签字的文件拿出来看看，1003上面有很多责任的claim。 |

consider the worst case scenario:
1. If lender figure it out ( most likely they will in your case due to the
recent refinance), you can just refinance your original primary to
investment with higher rate and close the current new purchase with primary

如果距离417K不远，就不如等一等找人做417K以内loan的refi。

我打算用lender credit去付clsoing cost, 把seller credit 存到我在escrow的账户
用于将来支付property tax. 可是她不同意， 坚持先用seller credit付closing cost
, 这样我就基本拿不到lender credit了。 等于无形中损失了$5000.

发帖数: 5191 | 44 举例来说，conforming loan, 30年，假设当rate是3.875%时，lender rebate是$3000，
而这个loan的cost是$2500, 这个loan就可以做no closing cost, no point. 同时还可以
拿回$500. 当rate是3.75%时, lender rebate是$2000, 不够cover $2500的cost, 这就
要交$500的closing cost,如果不想交, 就退而选3.875%.
要说明的是lender rebate和broker的commission是没有关系的.如果broker退您钱, 那
就是从commission里退的 |
