Non VA rates are much better...

As a former poor person VA was the only way I could get into a place before I was too old to have a family. Rate was only one part of the equation. There are more important things than money.

Look up UWM. We recently refinanced to them and they use the same platform as USAA. And they were able to get us a solid rate. Best of luck! Time to take advantage of the historically low rates!!

I went through Navy Fed. Wasn't too bad during the time, it was last May. I got that 6% seller assist that really helped out too.

Shop around. The rates vary greatly from lender to lender. Also maybe think of using a local broker, they can sometimes get a better deal.

I’m a private lender from NY

Got an offer for non-tech PgM (finance side) in Google Cloud. They told me I'm on the boarder of L5 but decided put me at L4. I also have other competing offers with higher comp than Google's preliminary offer (aka. range shared by my recruiter as comp is still working on the numbers). Thoughts on negotiation? Timeline to move from L4 to L5? Thanks!

Looking for a nice looking, sturdy, comfortable to carry travel duffel with a cross body strap. I always travel with my Louis Vuitton Keepall 55 bandoulière as a carry on, with mainly my shoes and handbags in it - but i took her in to LV for a repair and due to supply issues she will sadly not be back in time for my trip to Italy in September. (The repair may take 10 months, WTF!) I would appreciate any recommendations, and would love for it to be similar in size to the Keepall 55.

Has anyone recently obtained a VA mortgage loan that exceeds their county jumbo loan limit? I contacted VA to understand my remaining entitlement and was told that even if I sold my current home I couldn’t exceed the county limit in my next purchase.
