I did my refi in 2020 with https://www.atlanticcoastmortgage.com/lo/hien-nguyen/ but when I was shopping rates recently, actually Citizens Bank had better rates if you are interested in an ARM (gambling that rates will go down in the next several years) - https://lo.citizensbank.com/ny/new-york/lynne-rose Sadly, I didn’t win the bidding war on a house in Arlington last week.

PNC - Anastasia Opoykova ( Virginia based if that matters). PNC will do mortgages with no closing costs for a slightly higher rate (but still low compared to lots of other lenders that I was in contact with at the time) which is preferable if you plan to refinance IMO. The only place that I found with a better rate was Navy Federal but they had closing costs

Can I reasonably access 401k funds to buy a house, or should I keep just putting 10% to 401k and investing post tax money to save up a down payment?
