Just Closed at 2.375% w/ a VA Loan, Details in comments for those interested.

- We are in the N. OKC area (Edmond), this was a new construction home from the ground up. 4 bed, 2 Bath, 1900 SF in a great part of town with all 10/10 schools.

- 30 Year fixed VA loan

- Purchase Price was 269K, we put $2K in earnest and $2.1K in out of pocket upgrades

- We did NOT buy down points.

- Locked in the rate exactly 30 days ago.

- The lender charged $1,095 for the loan/origination fee and gave us slightly over $2K in lender credits

- We put $0 down and financed the VA funding fee. The funding fee goes directly to the VA

- The builder gave us $2K in closing cost credit.

- We paid nothing at closing and paid the VA appraisal fee of $500 out of pocket about 2 weeks ago.

​

I cant think of any of the other big points or key take-aways but i have all the info and can answer any questions from the buyers perspective if anyone wants. We are a regular family of 5 with average income and great credit. We are super stoked and couldn't be more excited.

​

*EDIT - closing was today at 3.

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear

Fast Rising HOA Fees on NYC Condo, No Budget Provided

My wife and I are first time homeowners and could use some advice on a situation we've been having with our management company and Board. We bought a condo in Brooklyn two years ago, and since then our HOA fees have climbed dramatically. In August of last year, our fees were increased by ~30% and just yesterday we received notice that this new figure would be increased by 16% as of June 1st. The by-laws for our building state that ten days before such a change goes into effect, the Board must provide unit owners with the itemized budget upon which the new numbers were based. This didn't happen last year, and when I asked the management company about it, they just kept vaguely insisting the Board had done due diligence. After I kept pressing, they finally sent a budget that was several years old, so obviously not the one that the new numbers were based on. When I asked the management company for contact information for the Board to get further clarification, I was told that th

How to create fidelity investments current bank statement for lender during escrow

I transferred a certain amount to my bank account to complete the minimum down payment required. The bank wants a current statement of the transaction. Unfortunately, fidelity only does quarterly statements so a December statement is not available and we are due to close next week. I called fidelity and they they can only provide a letter but the bank said that won’t suffice. Any way I can find or make one of my own that has my account number/name along with all the recent month’s activities? submitted by /u/bodaciousbeans [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/zmnnqo/how_to_create_fidelity_investments_current_bank/
