Yeah we settled for a slightly higher interest rate but in return we got a no down payment loan from our lender and they paid our closing cost which I think definitely was worth it. But I see your concern a matter of a jump to 700 will drastically change your interest rate....keep us posted!

Was this a USDA loan? Which lender was this that picked up the closing costs?

USDA were no down payment loans available to rural or new developing areas. We used ours in Maricopa right before it ended here. But it is still available I'm some areas.

The lender we used was Homeowners Financial Group..they are the best! Never use a bank for a loan, you will get screwed out of a lot of benefits

Great story. I'm currently in the process of purchasing my first home and didn't know all the steps. Your story truly helped me see the different steps
