Any benefits of paying home insurance premium through escrow account? If I pay in full I am getting a discount

Sometimes your lender will charge additional points if you waive escrows, so I'd recommend starting with them. Personally I like escrowing for taxes and insurance because it's two fewer things I have to keep track of. Some people also like it if they're bad at budgeting.

Do you mean that if you, yourself, pay in full you get a discount, or that even by your servicer paying in full (because it will only be paid once per year by your loan servicer) you get a discount as well? If your lender is charging the aforementioned points to waive escrows then you would want to weigh whether the one time charge of additional points are worth it for the year over year discount.

If you pay through escrow you’re paying in full too. They usually only cut them a check once a year.

Hi all, we recently entered into an agreement with a builder for an under construction house that is expected to be ready by end of year. Wife was notified yesterday that she is being let go. Given that there is still some time to close ... Should we notify the lender or wait until we are close to actual closing while we look for another job.

When closing on a home and you've gone through underwriting a while back, does the lender pull the credit again when you're close to closing? And if so do they do it without informing you? I see one check today, and I haven't applied for any other loans so I'm thinking it must be them - we're about 1.5 months from closing. Should I ask them to confirm if they did it?
