i just refinance my investment property at 3.5 about 2 months ago.
I'm looking at refinancing a rental as well, but the costs are insane high. What lender did you use to get 3.5 and no costs?

Quote from Methodman :
Wanted to bounce this off some of you experts to make sure I'm not misreading or misunderstanding. So, I initially had a 3.375% offer from Owning with $1459 lender credit. Better beat that and locked my rate in at 3.375% and gave me a lender credit of $2445. I'm now in the closing phase with Better and I just submitted a new loan estimate from Owning at 3.125% with $1459 lender credit and asked Better if they could beat it. Well, the loan consultant never got back to me, but I saw that my locked rate on the website went from 3.375% to 3.125%. No new loan estimate was generated. I just got my closing disclosure documents and I see these changes:
Interest Rate is changed from 3.375% to 3.125%.
Lender Credits are changed from $2,456 to $7.00.
Recording Fee is changed from $328 to $382.

Furthermore, it now shows that $1,619.77 in closing costs are financed thru the loan. Looks like they basically matched the rate but just about took away all the lender credits and now I'm financing my closing costs? Those of you who got Better to match a second time, did they match the rates and the lender credits again?
Similar to my loan with better. Better matched 3% and had $2400 in lender credit. They matched a second LE from Owning for 2.875%, but leaner credit went down to $608. With the Amex credit I still come out ahead.

You can only get flood through FEMA. Third party company that handles and the max is $250 k/100k

Some companies provide supplemental insurance over them limits but you might have to have this at the baseline first
Weird, yeah I have a line item where Flood covers me up to 100k, maybe it's just property involved in a flood? They were the only one to offer it. ASI Progressive. They said it was free too. I dunno. This is my first time buying, so not sure.

I was able to find a company on bank rate that is 2.875 30 year with $995 lender fee. If I can get better to match they should be able to beat that by the thousand. I would then only be responsible for closing costs such as title insurance, recording, etc. The closing company I could use would cost me about $1,500 so that would net me about $1,000 I'm assuming

One broker mentioned that lenders are really tight with rental refis due to the pandemic which makes sense. It's a lot riskier. Rates for rentals are always higher than primary refis but the gap seems wider now.

I'm in Dallas area; I've checked everyone from Lendingtree, Loansnap, LoanDepot, and Sofi...also did my local credit union (RBFCU) and Costco. The only one I didn't try was Lenderfi.
Best I got (this was 2 weeks ago) was 2.75% fixed for 15 year and 3.25% fixed for 30 year, this is with minimal (maybe $1k) out of pocket after lender credits.
which company was it for 2.75%?

I'm in Dallas area as well and would be curious who your lender was. I've been waiting for refi estimate from my current provider but they haven't provided anything yet.

It's how you save that cash. I called 5 insurance companies for home insurance, which took 40 mins each quote/call, legit the last one I called Progressive, was $400 cheaper than everyone else, double the property value, and included Flood insurance for free.

Home buying is like dealing with 1000 used car salesman. :/
thanks for reminding me Smilie.. just got a quote from progressive.com took 10 minutes.. saves me over $800 per year.
