Sorry I know I am new so slam me or put me in my place . . . . . but this GFE doesn’t seem to be a good deal. Fico score 813 for a FHA loan. 3% YSP? On myfico.com it says I should be able to get an interest rate of 4.9% with my score. I know that changes daily, hourly, etc but still?

1. I don't put much faith in those lists that say you will get ABC rate with XYZ fico
2. How do you know a good rate? You come here and ask.
the fees are low in the 800s section. If nothing has been left off.... you are doing outstanding there.
how long do you plan on staying in the home? paying origination fee is a good idea if you stay beyond 5yrs.
what is the loan amount? about $240K?!?!?!?
5.375% is paying closer to 2% ysp today. was paying more. when did you get the quote? might have been 3%ish yesterday
you should be able to lower your rate by .25% by paying 1% origination. that would be a great value
Purchase price is for 250,000 but loan amount is for 245,471.
Got the quote via e-mail at 6:32AM this morning (pacific time)
Not sure how long I will be in the home could be less than 5 years or could be more. My boyfriend owns a home now which he bought when the market was a bubble so we may keep both or sell mine if the market goes up. Not counting on it though!
So we have a meeting to review this GFE on Tuesday of next week. I know the numbers will be out of date by then I just want him to walk me through his fees and process. I don’t plan on taking too much of his time.
So Dallas you think 3% is ok with now origination fee and the 5.375% is reasonable if I got this with 24 hours?
I realize myfico.com is not a magic 8 ball for interest rates I just want to be educated more so I am not so darn paranoid!
PS Dallas I don’t understand your commit “240,000?!?!??!?” is that too much too little? Did you just not know what my loan was? I am confused?
i was asking how much the loan amount was.... off the top of my head i was guessing 240ish
if the fees in the 800s section dont change then 5.375% is a good deal. make hhe rest of the fees are not controlled by the lender. they are third party fees.
im honor that.
unless you stay beyond 3-5yrs and then the extra interest is more than the origination fee would have been.
the gfe says 0 - 3%(reads zero to three) that is a range. they may or may not get all 3% depending on the rates the day you lock.
i think 3% is about right for a 0% origination deal with low fees since another lender would have higher fees.. fees and rate have a direct coorelation.
if fees go up then 3% would be out of line
