Anyone work with first federal bank for their mortgage? We found them on Zillow as we were shopping for mortgages and they offered very competitive rates and will be able to accommodate our closing time. Anything we should be on the lookout for before actually signing with them?

closing costs and things related link origination fees.

never heard of them but unless the fees are outrageous, it doesn’t matter anyway since your mortgage will be packaged and sold to the government/a different bank within a month of closing. you’ll have a different servicer pretty quickly.

Our broker hasn't heard of them either but I looked up the agent on NMLS. I was only trying to understand if there's any other due diligence I should do on my part.

Under contract to buy my first home - house hacking a triplex. Property has been leased by the same three tenants for the last 5+ yrs, rents haven’t been raised since they moved in. Market rents have risen 70-100% in the same timeframe. All seem like ideal tenants (retired and take great care of the units) but I’d like advice on how to approach the rent increase conversation. Rents don’t make/break my mortgage payment but I’m leaving a lot on the table if I don’t increase significantly.

Due to a family situation we are looking to move to a different state. Normally we would sell our current home and buy a new home in our new location.

We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?
