Mortgage and Pre-approval Questions

Were FTB and we want to make an offer on a house but we need a pre-approval. The agent referred us to a lender to get pre-approval but they aren't doing jumbo loans anymore. I tried to go online but all I found were essentially lead gen sites that wanted my info to sell. I'm frustrated. Can anyone recommend a route for getting pre-approval that you have personally used?

If it matters this is a 1.2m house for which we're getting a 750k mortgage (the rest will come from cash and a margin loan). We could pay cash but want to take advantage of the low rates, mortgage interest deduction and the ability to leave more cash in the mkt.

Also I'm in an usual situation because I have a good amount of assets ($4m) but I have a credit score of 720 and an income of $200k (plus a variable bonus). I don't use a ton of credit and I have never had a student loan or mortgage before. Is there any possibility for me to get a competitive rate like 2.8% or 2.9% without a 740 credit score?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

warning about Biggins and Scott Brunswick

his is a general warning for people who use this agency to rent a property. I am going to share a disgusting experience that I had with the above agency. I was new to the rental experience after a marriage breakdown so I answered a add on Real Estate .com and met a guy in Maribyrnong to look over a apartment . He suggested he was not only going to be my roommate, but he also worked at the company in Brunswick. All looked good and myself and a lovely lady moved in to the apartment in late March. Everything was going well ,we were paying our rent and things were moving forward with 3 people coming from different age groups and different upbringings. Then on the 25th of June out of nowhere 3 Breach Notices appeared on my email from my roommate but on Biggins and Scotts letterhead. I was completely surprised and after trying to reason with the sender of these documents, I then decided I had to call his boss the Director of Biggin and Scott in Brunswick. David told me that he was ...
