Re: Help with GFE

Hi, I can only tell you about the daily interest b/c I just asked my mortgage lady the same question.  Basically it breaks down your  mortgage payment (mostly taxes at first) based on your closing day.  So if you close the 1st of the month it's the full amount, if you close the last day of the month it's ~1/30th...they just estimate it for the 15th, I don't know why.  It's just a prorated mortgage payment basically.

 

This is about what I'm doing and our numbers are very similar!  I am, however, doing a state program as well that lowers my interest rate quite a bit.

Thanks for the response Roxanna1974.  I just want to be sure I'm making the best decision without being taken advantage of because I don't know the business.  Anyone else?  Happy Valentines Day to All...

Re: Help with GFE

Not sure, but maybe they didn't write it up as a VA loan, becuase NO, you do not pay PMI with a VA loan. I don't see the VA funding fee on there either, which you can finance as well. There is a list of other fees that cannot be charged to you as well.
