Question: I want to cancel my escrow account and rather pay taxes myself

I was initially informed by two different wells fargo agents that I need to hold the loan for 24 months and not have a negative escrow balance. But now when I met those requirements they are stating that there were 6 different requirements and I miss one. I am basically short on my Loan to Value which is 85% and needs to 80% or lower

Has anyone successfully been able to remove the escrow from Wells Fargo with this LTV?

There are state laws in some places (I know California) that set the conditions under which the mortgage company can require an escrow account.

Other issue is the banks are tightening standards. Could very well be in the last 85% was fine.

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.

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.

Rents don’t make/break my mortgage payment but I’m leaving a lot on the table if I don’t increase significantly.
