Closing date set for this Friday on my refi.

$155,000 @ 2.875% for 15 year fixed.

First call to broker was 1/25.  Three weeks start to finish.

I'm happy.  I'll get my mortgage paid off about a year earlier and save about $18,000 interest.

The closing completed as scheduled. 

I figured everything was good earlier in the week when I got a survey from BofA, my old mortgage, about their mortgage service.

I gave them good marks for everything except their rates on loans.  I wouldn't have come close to the deal I got if I went through them.

My LO submitted our USDA application on 1/25. We are STILL waiting. According to the status hotline they have been on my date since Friday. Our closing is supposed to be this Friday. We may not get our house

Anyone else in a similar boat?

We Closed on Valentines Day! No money due at closing and got $502.00 back.  We were due to get $$852 but there was a mix up and they put $350 on the loan principal to avoid delaying the closing.  I thank God daily that he has allowed our dream of homeownership to finally come to pass!
