rasinutup- Yes, the first round with the UW we had a 1 day turn around, and it was simple stuff like a copy of the GFD cleared from my bank account and a LOE for a deposit into my account in the amount of $1000.00. Once I submitted those less than 24 hours later I received the conditions 2 and 4 hours from that I received conditions 3. I sent those last night but was already told by my LO that they were having the title company finish up all the paperwork. This whole process is nerve racking!!!!!
@Rasinup...should have guessed we are in the same state. Fl is nuts right now. Every house is 100K higher than it should be.
@Startfrom within...Good strategy...keep the seller negotiating on both sides. At least you know you can do the closing through your rate and which allows you to "concede" that in order to make them feel better on a lower sale price. Even going up 1/8 of a point won't kill you with these rates if you can avoid some costs.
Unfortunately we are now in Jumbo loan territory, so adding to the rate is a bit much for us and we would rather pay the closing costs and hold firm on our 3.75 rate.

Got it.
It's funny you mentioned an 1/8 of a point. That's EXACTLY what the Broker said.
I understand about the Jumbo loan territory. Seems smarter to just pay the closing costs in that situation for sure.

Agreed - it's just crazy. Nothing makes since in CFL right now and if you have thin skin, you just want to stay out of the market all together right now. I literally didn't want to see another house unless I was sure the sellers were looking to work with an FHA mortgage. Most wanted to hold out for cash and it was so frustrating and a big waste of time. So thankful we got an offer accepted.
@Startfromwithin - working on a jumbo loan is a good problem to have I'm sure the home is beautiful.
We're waiting for the appraisal as well. My husband received a call today from the LO advising that it has been ordered and they will be contacting us to set it up. We are confused as 1. They charged us for it last week 2. We live 3 hours away from this property 3. We thought the Lender handled it
We're supposed to close on the 27th. This process is not exactly calming.

UPDATE: The Seller accepted the offer - 5.25% Seller's Assist.
Now we'll just have to see how the Appraisal comes back. Sheesh!
And just like that, I went into UW and right back out cause the loan officer isn't communicating with the processor and the doc's I sent were not what was needed.
ARGH! A day wasted.
