How long did you have to wait until you got the LE from Loan Cabin? I've submitted my application and lock in my rate since 6-29-2020 and I am so waiting for the LE to come.

Once you lock a rate, you aren't obligated to continue with that lender?

Also in PA and shopping currently. Have excellent credit, no debt besides house. Better quoted 2.25% but with $4900 in points. I have to imagine I should be able to get 2.5% with no points....
I would try LenderFi for their rates

Newbie refi question.... you need to apply with a credit check to get an LE in most cases (say from better/lenderfi/citizensbank?)

Thanks.
I appreciate the newbie,

but if this is important to you, you should read back worth a few days or weeks worth of postings. The answer is there.

(YES)

This forum and messages have been so helpful. Using the knowledge gained here I was able to get a LE from LenderFi. Refinancing to 15 yr loan at 2.5% with $100 closing costs with no escrow for taxes and insurance. I also got the no appraisal needed. So all in all, looks like. Good deal.

couple of questions that I need assistance with and would greatly appreciate -

1. Is LenderFi good to work with? Should I work with better mortgage to see if they can price match. Have folks refinanced through LenderFi with no issues?

2. I am in PA. Can folks recommend Title companies that are better to work with and can provide a better deal on the title services.
I'm pretty sure in PA title fees are fully controlled by the state so you can't really shop. I think it's just a percentage of loan.

For those who have already closed with better, where are you loans now being serviced?

Thanks
This can change in a few months.

BUT - why does anyone care?

So I submitted LE this morning to match and they did but points are high so I don't wanna lock anything. Waiting for another lender to give LE. well Arnold emails me and says this offer will expire tonight. I guess he's talking about the current match they did will expire since LE I submitted will be over 24 hours old.

Should I lock and then submit another LE. I guess doing that I won't get $1k price match right?

So did they match the costs of the other LE or not? If A + B + C - lender credits on the competing LE >= A + B + C - lender credits on Better's LE, which not lock? Also, take screenshots of the rate table w/ and w/o escrow, 15-year , 20-year , 30-year, etc. Once you lock, you won't see those anymore, but you can still switch to any of them before closing

I had not luck then matching the difference of 2-3k. They kept giving me the bs of using Amex $2500 to offset that. I declined. They are charging more than other lenders and their hope is we will bite on it with Amex incentives. Basically they are playing games now. So do a good diligence before you give it to them.
