房子貸款的一點心得

二周前簽了一個買房合同，6月辦手續。今天有空打了幾個電話， 了解一些貸款的
事情。

There are big difference about the closing costs. The main difference is
lender fee and interest rate. The big banks charge more lender fee with a
higher interest rate. The cheapest lenders are from the internet.

I search: bankrate.com and yahoo-finance for fixed 15 year loan. The interest
rates vary from 2.875 to 3.25%. The lender fees vary from paying $1,995
to -$1,600.

 For example, I could get a rate of 2.875% without paying lender fee, or get  a
rate of  3% with a bonus of $1600.  Majority of banks charge 3% rate, but
you have to pay $500-2000 lender fees.

My suggestion is: search online first, then to call at least 3 lenders to
get a better rate.

Good luck!
