Locked a 2.25% with 2 points 15 yr on Monday. One of the other mortgage brokers I had spoken with earlier called and said he could do 2.125% today with the same point cost. Will better still match after you rate lock?
Can you let us know who offered you 2.125, Im in the process of refinance and would like to check?

2500 is not part of anything, you will get it 2 or 3 months after closing. Better doesnt charge you appraisal fee for upto $550
I went through all of the tasks and they are now asking for a $550 deposit for the appraisal. Do I get credit back on my Amex card for that? Looks like I'd be charged there.

Same here. They told me the $550 is to lock in the rate and that they will refund it at closing.

Same in Tucson - my concierge said it would have been expedited and waived. Then again I never got that far either because I ended up with an appraisal waiver.

Ok, that's good to know. I will also confirm with my concierge before dropping in my payment details.

Yeah keep in mind also that the Amex promo entitles you to an appraisal waiver too.

So I got funded 5/13 ....

Now I got this email

To keep your loan on track, I need you to complete Download and review the Post Consummation Closing Disclosure below. Then acknowledge that you received and understand the information..

There are 4 other tasks also waiting for you.

If you have any other questions feel free to reply here or give me a call.

Sincerely,



Is this a start of a nightmare?

According to the processor they are still waiting for some docs from title to clear for closing. Title report was received May 20. It hasn't moved since then. One task for us on title was to change the title vesting since the title was on a trust.
My title report was received May 19 and also hasn't moved. I've had a couple tasks that were assigned since then (also changing title vesting) which included sending in some identify information and helping w/ insurance info change.

Has anyone received a notification when a task has been assigned? I've been logging in a couple times a day to check because I don't get any notifications.

My closing expert said that I would get a "post-consummation Closing Disclosure" to review as a task item on my portal. It's only been 8 days since funding, so it may be too soon for that. Has anyone seen such a task item on their portal?
I got this task right now. Do you know what is this for? It seems very uncommon atleast to others here ... My loan got funded on 5/13

I don't get any emails for tasks. I am checking a couple of time a day and that is how I learn on new tasks. I don't think their system is setup correctly. Notification settings is set to receive emails, calls, and texts for tasks.

You have to refinance that. Make sure you shop around to get LE because better dont have the best rates around. You should target atleast 3% rate. If your house increased in value you might be able to get rid of the pmi easily or else you might need to pay to reach 80% ltv

Hello, I too saw this deal only last night and have been trying to read the whole thread. Initial posts suggested anyone qualifies for this deal but the edit in the OP from better states that this is targeted.

So my question is, am I late to the party? The $2500 credit is valid only for invited card holders?

Thanks,
