I refinanced with DCU in Jan. In order to get 1.99%, you need to have paycheck direct deposited into their checking account.

I just recently closed my refi. Want to check a few things with you guys to make sure I didn't missed anything. 1. If you used their preferred title/settlement agent, no, they can’t increase the settlement fee down the road. If you chose your own title/settlement agent, yes, the fee can increase. I...

I used Selectquotes to get a few quotes for comparison and got a few direct quotes last year. It's time for me to renew soon. Does anyone recommend any online brokers? I don't really have good luck with local agents. Thanks. Read through some posts, I think i'll try to get quote from Policygenius, ...

Thanks. The map for ETF is really useful. https://www.finviz.com/map.ashx?t=etf

For a purchase or a refi, you (the owner) is never required to buy title insurance for yourself. The lender will require title insurance for themselves, whether you pay for that cost or they give you enough credits to cover that cost is a different story. The title insurance mentioned in your refi ...

I closed refinance for home mortgage a couple months ago. Do you know what happened to the original title insurance policy since i got a new title insurance policy for refinance? Thanks. Did you really get new owners title insurance, or did the new lender get title insurance? Normally you do not ge...

Thanks everyone. The only reason I want to read finance news because I have some play money on the side. I invest most on ETF. For example, if I see big fall in energy sector, i'll consider get energy ETF.

You have to get the lien release from first lender, go to dmv, file first lien release, file second lien, pay fees for transactions , hope for dmv to ship the title to dcu, then the dcu staff to read the correspondence and update the status in their system correctly. got it, So to remove the f...

I had something like this a few years ago in new jersey. I got preapproved check from dcu and paid the dealer. Gave clear instructions for the dealer to make dcu the lienholder. Dealer called me and told me to collect the title. I went to dealer and when I saw the title, i asked the dealer to file ...

yeah In the final signed documents, I'm surprised that Digital Credit Union (DCU)/the new lender wants us to make sure that DCU appears as “First Lienholder” on your vehicle title and that DCU receives the original title within 90 days. It seems the older lender/TD auto finance can transfer the titl...

We just refinanced our auto loan. We will need to change the lienholder in the car title from old lender to the new lender. Not much info was provided on NY DMV site. Has anyone done this before? Please share the process. Thanks.

Just want to share my experience here. I selected "permanent remove the lift" instead of temporary. I figure i can always add the freeze back later.

Thanks for all your inputs. I didn't know they'll try to get rid of the 75% Platinum Honors Bonus. I was thinking about getting the Gold status. Now I think i'll probably not gonna do it any more and just put all investments with Vanguard.

I'm thinking about opening Merrill Edge Self Direct account to qualify for preferred status. Do you know if ME offers Vanguard S&P 500 Fund/ETF? Where can I see the whole list? Thanks.

So IM just had an appraiser come by and they should be finished with the report on Monday or Tuesday. LD gave me a better estimate by $500 but the appraiser isn't coming by until Jan 7th.

We always wanted to support our kids education. We decided to fund 4 years at a state university. We opened 529's when our kids were born. We had kids early and couldn't save a lot (had kids at 26, some people wait until their 30's, this impacts contribution capabilities), but started $25-50 per mo...

My strategy 15-20 years ago was to quickly (as I could) put 4 x the then most expensive private college annual tuition and then let it grow (fingers crossed) along with tuition increases--which is pretty much what it did--my youngest son, who applies to college next year, has about $340,000. There ...

Thanks, BrandonBogle. Are we saying that the new lender/Network Capital is not supposed to charge interest until the fund was wired/mailed to the old lender? The new lender is not supposed to charge interest until they send the funds to the settlement agent. That could be days before the old lender...

What do you mean by break?

zrzhu111

Not enough info. For instance, if your income is under $50,000 to $100,000 a year, then I think you should save $0 in a 529 plan to send your child to a private college. I doubt that is the answer you were expecting. What is your current income? What are your current contributions to retirement pla...

How much is needed in NY 529 plan if I plan to send my child to private college? Thanks.

I'm looking at the closing disclosure now. The payoffs amount is higher than what I checked on my lender's website. I guess that's normal.

Got it. The rescission period is after I sign the docs with the notary, not when i received the final disclosure from the lender. I read some previous posts, it actually says Tuesday or Wednesday is the best time to sign the docs. For the recision period, yes, that is correct (assuming your refi is...

I remember it was mentioned it's better to sign the final disclosure on Monday/Tuesday.

Below is from the lender/Network Capital. I spoke to a broker for a title company which gives a better rate (I thought at least). Then realized today that they don't do "Title - Settlement Fee" below which is for bank attorney per the broker. so when I compare, I should compare $1,995 ($2,...

^ Great to hear! Assuming Better waives your appraisal, you should be able to save another $550. And by having them price-match title costs to Radian, that should be another $200 (they price-match this by increasing the lender credit by the amount of the price difference). Finally, your section &qu...

Did Loan Depot ask you to pay about $20 (fee for credit report) to lock the rate? My LO told me to pay for that to lock the rate.

Better want me to lock the rate if they can match the rate i sent to them. I guess i have to say yes. it doesn't really matter either after i lock the rate with Better.
