I just got a called from better.

They're approving my cheaper Title quote so I'll go from $1100 to $595 (saving of $505). So now my total loan cost is -$1369 into my pocket for 2.75% 30 years fixed.
Can you PM which lender you got the LE to match?

Has anybody done a cash out refi on a rental with better? I got a quote from hightech online, but when I called they said they're not doing them. Lenderfi won't even generate results.

I apologize if this has been asked before. I already got a Le with Better but haven't locked in the rate as I want to find a better LE for them to match. I never used the Amex link. How can I still get the promo?

You are supposed to start with the amex link. You might have to start over, but not sure if they'll find your existing one and give you trouble

No clue how you guys are getting these rates. I'm looking at a 15 year 2.75 with $109 in credits with A+B+C at $1900 with Better. 60047 area code 800+ credit score.

some lenders don't do investment properties, then you add cash out refi and it's complicated twice...
I do think people have done investment properties, but can't recall if anyone has done one with cash out.

I find all of this quite interesting.

I started going through this with Better.com because of $2,500 deal. Figured I should also get a quote from my current bank. Before long I have now applied at 8 places. And sent LE to most. And gone from 3.875 down to 3.0 on refi of $170k.

Better came back with much better rates after the competing LE. Now, it looks like LenderFi is so very close to their offer - partially due to escrow not being required and money tied up there. Back and forth they go.

If you can not manage a good spreadsheet - this whole thing is close to impossible.

Currently have two locks and one other company still wants to try and beat my offers. One other actually overnighted documents even though they have everything online - and he played games with an offer, so they are dead anyways.
Do these places know you're shopping around? They readily give you LEs? You just go back and forth asking each place to match/beat? I'm shy shopping around so much and feel pressure.

Quote from flyersrule :
One of our properties (not the property we are refi'ing)is 1 month into forbearance since no one new what was happening with Covid. The statement shows 1 month behind payment so it raised a flag.

If I make that current and resent while remaining in forbearance will I be good? If not would I need to make current and get out of forbearance with a note stating so from that lender?
Once you pay off the outstanding balance, your current lender should give you a account in current standing letter. That is sufficient.
