Yup

Thanks

Just paid it off. Felt great.

I vote pay off the loan. You have a solid plan what to do with the 250 per month. Is there a reason you are worried about a small drop in your credit score? Also, would it make more sense to put the $250 to your IRA starting January 2021? Is there a solid reason you have a 7 month EF for your mortg...

Nothing wrong with paying g it off. Depending on the age, value of car, and your credit score, you could qualify to refinance. We dropped at 3.x% loan to 1.3% if you are trying to build your credit, this could help with another account, but there would be a hard pull on your credit which could hurt...

You will fall into the boat I'm paddling. When I look at my credit union's credit score for me, it has a section that gives hints how the score could be higher or what's dropping it. For me, I have no installment loan active. Because I have no loan, they don't have the data point of me paying a loa...

I have $5800 left on my car loan. 4.99% 2 years left to pay off $248 a month. I can pay it off now and only use $3000 from my 7 months of mortgage payments saved up(in savings account). If I save the monthly payments ($250) from now until Sept I will have all of the $3000 back into my mortgage savin...

looks like I don't qualify for Third Federal they are only lending LTV 70% I am about 7k short of that. I'm doing 80% LTV at Citizens Bank. I don't know if it's available in your area. I think they're at 2.99% right now. Just checked they're available in my area. I was looking at Alliant they offer...

We tried to use one we had from 3 months prior. Would not accept it and the bank appraisal was $100,000 less! We have current heloc with them but paid off house and wanted a higher credit amount. Previous one from 5 years Ago was only 35,000 less but we used the heloc to do $100,000 worth of landsc...

OP, we currently have a 10-year HELOC with Third Federal; and have found them most co-operative to deal with. It's been 3 years now. They did a "desktop" appraisal of our home; which was unencumbered at the time; so it was pretty straightforward. Might be a bit different in your case. Our...

Thanks good to know. Ok so you have the 10 year loan I might do fixed 10 year. I will check with Third Federal

I just got my refund credited to my account the day before I closed.

Do you have the $1639 difference where you could make a additional principle payment with the first payment? It wouldn't make much difference in the long run if it's changed now or paid later.

Does it matter that they put $27.03 into the loan? Because of the numbers it looks like they just rolled that in. Can I ask to pay that amount? Or does it make very little difference to the loan? Thanks

I am seeing this new fee topic pop up. I haven't really read up on it but I am closing on the 25th will this affect me? They said I will not have to make a payment until Oct. Where would I look for this fee? I haven't asked my lender yet but I will later today. https://www.bogleheads.org/forum/view...
