    Google Helpouts.

    I would say it all depends on the specific issue in question. Personally, I would pay for the advice on the issue that puts closing at risk (purchase scenario). For these type of issues the right decision has to be made quite fast. Often there is no time to search for the answers on the Internet...

    LPMI for a jumbo-conforming ARM mortgage

    I used MI Rate Finder as you suggested and it looks like single premium BPMI actually would have been a bit worse option than 0.125 LPMI rate increase for my case with the difference of ~$2,000 over the first 10 years (and yes, LPMI in my case was built into .125 rate increase). I can sleep...

    LPMI for a jumbo-conforming ARM mortgage

    Thank you for the information! The web site has a lot of rates, but nothing on LPMI for ARM loans (or maybe I just can't interpret the rates correctly) :( I actually already have 85/15 mortgage. When I was getting it my lender offered it at a .125 rate increase comparing to the standard 80/20...

    LPMI for a jumbo-conforming ARM mortgage

    Does anyone know the typical LPMI rate adjustment for a jumbo-conforming ARM mortgage with 85% LTV and excellent FICO (around 800)? All information I could find on the internet was for the 30-year fixed mortgage, and I'm not even sure if LPMI should be higher/lower for ARM mortgage to make a...

    How low can we go? 30 yr fixed at 3.75% with no fees...

    Based on my recent experience with Wells they have different requirements for different mortgage products. They still have mortgages that require 3 or 6 months of reserves.

    Appliances - Help Needed!

    I had it installed last week. So far I like it. It's very quiet and provides a lot of space considering its counter-depth model. Haven't noticed any issues with the ice dispenser but I'm using it only one week... Oh, and LED lighting is very nice but I find it a bit annoying if you need to get...

    Appliances - Help Needed!

    We are getting LG LFX25991ST in a couple weeks. I believe it has the biggest capacity among counter-depth french door refrigerators priced less than $4,000. If you decide to buy this model, check Howard's - we were able to negotiate it for $2,600 plus tax with free delivery and installation.

    Celebs in real estate and financial trouble

    Price dropped another $2.5 million to $22.5m. It's very funny to see Redfin's rebate for this property - $244k.

    Car seats and Strollers

    And the 5th vote for the Chicco Keyfit 30 from me. We also used it with Uppababy Vista stroller. I was a bit skeptical about the idea of using adapter before the purchase, but it's actually very easy to use and the car seat fits it well.

    Which credit card do you use the most?

    I'm not an accountant, but I think it' because it is a rebate. And rebates are usually not taxable.
