My better deal locked last week- central ohio, 15 yr, 2.5% fixed, 67% LTV with $1400 fees excluding escrow and $300 lender credit.

Check your title policy for current mortgage.

I'm filling out my LenderFi application for a refi, and I'm a bit confused at the Liabilities section.

It says "What will happen to your mortgage with [Lender]" with my mortgage balance for the property I'm trying to refi

The options are a bit weird. They are:

- This is the property I'm refinancing and will be paid off
- This is the property I'm refinancing and will NOT be paid off (with the disclaimer: This mortgage belongs to the property you are refinancing and will not be paid off at closing. Choose this option if it is a second mortgage you want to keep. The lender will consider this mortgage payment when calculating your debt-to-income ratio. This will increase your DTI and decrease your chances of getting approved.)

Obviously I'm not going to be paying off my mortgage, so I would choose the 2nd one, but I don't want to keep a 2nd mortgage per the note. Not sure which one to pick.

If someone refinances a property again within few months, will title company provide any discount in fees? Probably not, since they do check again since last refinance.

I think I'm misunderstanding you or you are misunderstanding the question.

Are you paying off or keeping your current mortgage? Yes = first option , No = second option.

If you don't pay off your prior mortgage with the new one, the old one is your first mortgage and the new one is the second, unless the first agrees to a subordination.

You can't have it where you don't pay off the existing mortgage and you don't take a second mortgage. A light switch is either on or off.

Just go on Google and search your city/state. A lot of companies have online quote calculators.

I misinterpreted the question. Sorry, long day haha.

Also, chatted with the LenderFi person. Wow, of course I got connected with an aggro jerk. I asked for the loan estimate to discuss it with my wife and he kept saying he's too busy and doesn't want to waste his time, and I should just write down the details he'd give me instead of needing an estimate.

It is the same thing. You go through Amex link, it takes your to your account and you fill a new application. The same concierge in my case.
