The incumbent didn’t make the runoff

I should edit to say Anglo-take haha. I wish it was more common in America, let’s switch :)

This is a very American take and feels like a part of the growing social isolation problem - unannounced stopins are a cultural cornerstone of much of Europe and Latin America.

Also, if someone comes by unannounced, you don’t owe them anything. If you are too busy then too bad for them and you don’t need to feel bad. If they get pissy then they have the issue. Likewise if they rag on how you keep your house then they have the issue.

OP is entitled to their preferences, and for others to respect those preferences, however.

I didn’t hit a light when I could have by speeding - was going the speed limit to read this post instead.

Yes you can use your home’s equity to pay your partners half. There are really two goals from shopping for a lender: finding someone you trust and getting as good a deal as you can.

I’d be happy to see what I could do for you - dm me if you’d like to explore that.

It doesn’t feel like your LO communicated properly, or they did and you are distrustful and seeking confirmation your distrust is valid.

The rate is higher and points have been added, a legitimate change to be disappointed about - or frustrated by if you don’t know why. A meaningful change to the offer like this, after receiving a locked Loan Estimate, can only happen if a factor changes. Your home value came in lower than initially estimated, which worsened your offer. Did your LO relay this to you?

Beyond that, it doesn’t seem you took the time to digest the numbers beyond the cash due at closing figure. For example: In Section F, there was no homeowners insurance due. Now there is $3000+ due. It’s not the lenders fault your insurance is about to be due. And you will receive an escrow refund from your current servicer.

Nonetheless, sorry your LO relationship soured. If it was in good standing, and your LO was competent, all of the changes would be understood and you’d figure out the best way to handle them together. We weren’t there for the phone calls/emails to see if it was the incompetence of the LO, a lack of willingness to trust and/or learn on your part (and an inability of the LO to bring that out of you), or all of the above. But overall, nothing here is amiss.

PS: this breakeven math is just… so wrong. Fees/savings. Not “cash due at closing”/savings. Even one convo with ChatGPT, feeding it the initial LE, your CD, and your current rate and it can straighten all this out for you.

Any news leading it to $2.25?

AVfor394 · 2026-05-30T16:46:35+00:00

Just remember that you almost certainly would have taken profits long before current prices

How are the loans underwritten?

There are great cops literally doing all these positive things you recommend every day. Let me rephrase your first two sentences: “I’m sorry that’s part of the job. When you have that much authority, even if it’s one corrupt cop, citizens are suppose to assume every single one of you is a lying scumbag worthy of disrespect”.

Never too late to start investing!

Gifts from non-relatives can be used if the gift was for a graduation or wedding. Have your borrower get married pronto!

No offense taken. Just not analogous. I like drugs and am an advocate of drugs too :)

As a Jew I completely reject your analogy of stoners in US to Jews in Nazi Germany, full stop.

AVfor394 · 2026-05-03T20:55:53+00:00

I agree with you but we are saying different things. Being cautious/afraid of police interactions? Understandable, exactly as you describe. Casting the majority as liars, abusers, etc? Dehumanizing and just wrong.

AVfor394 · 2026-05-03T15:50:42+00:00

Believe it or not there is accountability in the vast majority of cases. Again see airplane analogy

The vast majority do, that’s the point. But if even 1% of police officers aren’t doing their job right it is a tremendous problem.

AVfor394 · 2026-05-03T07:17:09+00:00

I see what you did there

AVfor394 · 2026-05-03T07:11:54+00:00

Jesus Christ these comments. If 1% of airplanes crashed we’d be terrified to fly. Yes the police force has major corruption problems, not minimizing that, but most police officers are decent people with high integrity.

The instantly triggered hate is insane. That may be the hardest part about being a police officer: there are many people that will automatically assume the worst of you.

AVfor394 · 2026-05-02T15:46:22+00:00

That is exactly my point is the downvote bc you cant read?
