I'm doing my 2nd one now, 1st was in April. According to my loan concierge yesterday, the $2,500 promotional credit is per transaction, so I will be eligible for again. We'll see.
So far I can get 0.25 % decrease, if I can 0.5% decrease , definitely I will do it again . I will look around in next few weeks.

Quote from JetBlast :
Yeah, arnold wasn't budging so I said I'm holding off until rates drop further. My closing expert came back and said if we close tomorrow (today), then they'll give me the extra credit. I actually got a bigger credit than what LC was offering so I didn't hesitate.

I'm set to close this afternoon. Others have gotten the exact same rate and discount so keep pushing them.
So you let it sat after locking the rate?

You are refinancing it as primary home. "YOU" are supposed to occupy for 1 year. You are not supposed to refi and rent it out within a month or two. Has to be 1 year. Legally, thats what you sign and its mortgage fraud if thats not your intention.
do you have a reference for that? Like I said, what I found and copy/pasted from my contract was it.

~$545k loan in Northern CA, 800+ credit score, 39% LTV, waive escrow -

HighTechLending -- 2.875% + $2000 credit
LenderFi -- 2.875% + $2000 credit
LoanCabin -- 2.75% + $2000 credit
Better - loans all the way up to 4.125% have points attached

Submitted my LoanCabin LE to Better, who responded that there's no way they can match as the best they can do is 3.125% + $13k in points.

For those asking about LC, my LE from them took 3 days to arrive - however it came with a rate lock already in effect.
I am also in Northern CA and I applied to several lenders yesterday.

Waiting for LE from LoanCabin - no emails since I submitted my application.

How long did it take to get a LE from LenderFi?

HighTechLending - just went to their website, no option to see rates/apply online. Did you get the rates via phone? Looks like they are closed today.

Trying ideas to get part Arnold. Are you transferred to processing team as soon as you lock the rate? Or will you still talk to your "dedicated" concierge?

I have a non matched rate now on the loan with 2.55% points on 2.25% rate. Thinking about just accepting that and then try to match with the processing team.

Or, can I just ask Better to get me new team/concierge?

Michael is nice to work with and very responsive having spoken with him a few times. Took ample time to discuss rates, etc., and reasonable rates too. Easy application process too. The lock fee is refundable at closing on my LE.
did they mention about refunding the rate lock fee in the loan estimate ?

LC was 24 hours from application to initial e-mail with follow-up questions, and then 3 days to receive LE + disclosure package, with locked rate. No origination charge or extra lender fees.

LenderFi was 24 hours from application to LE + disclosure package, without a rate lock. No origination charge or extra lender fees.

HTL - online quotes and application are available via this link [mortgagewebcenter.com] . I then had a phone conversation with someone two days later (who confirmed the same rate + a slightly higher credit than when I applied), however to proceed to an LE and disclosures you need to confirm via phone. $995 origination fee included on these loans.
