Refinancing my primary property as an investment and getting a 2.86% for 15 years. With Amex I am getting 2k back statement credit so my closing cost would be around 2500. Is that a good deal? My score 800+ with DTI way below the threshold. I only went to rocket mortgage and didn’t shop around yet

Yes it’s a historically incredible rate

2nd home is diff than investment property. In my case I disclosed as an investment and I think that’s why my rate is higher

You can get better.

I just refied a month ago from 4.2% to 2%, reduced the length to 15y (from 18), and kept the monthly payment identical. Closing costs were 8.5K, but that’s entirely paid for by 4K returned from closing the old loan’s escrow account, plus 2 months of no payments before the new loan due date kicks in.

Setup a spreadsheet for the options:
Number of payments * payment + closing costs

And look what the total cost of the loan options are over time. We will save $65K.

One thing to watch out for - the agents love to bump up your principle to hide what the real closing costs are. I had to keep insisting that they not increase the principle. Financing the fees and such is stupid, but most people are scared by upfront costs so it’s an easy thing to trick people into doing.

I used LoanDepot

Yeah that seems high for a rate which you have to pay closing costs. I’d shop around. I know people who are getting their fully paid for around 2.5 or lower on a 15

1. How do I pick between a Roth vs a traditional IRA?
2. Once I hit the max of $6k - only then do I focus on brokerage account?

1099 or w-2 ? I have been given the option though the company prefers w-2. It’s a day rate booking couple of months or more (no end date).
