I think you are going to have more competition for properties priced under $500k.

Anyone notice the backyard picture from the RP flip on Prairie Dog. They put the sod right up to the foundation/stucco and it looks like the sprinklers spray the stucco pretty good.

I guess you could say they are not moving away from discount model, but discounts/rebates are going to be less over time as deep discount model proved not to work.

What is the advantage of this company anyway? I have been able to get large brokerage company to list for 2% instead of the avg 2.5% in my area.

I couldn’t get any rebate from the brokerage on purchase such as the 50% that Redfin offers, but I’m pretty sure the redfin agent couldn’t make my deal happen at the price I want because I have seen how the relationships between the local agents work. I can get a lot more insight on property and sellers situation when its a listing agent that mine knows well.

The rate for option 3 seems pretty good. I know you said 0pts but not sure what your origination fee is and if you are doing escrow/impounds

You can go on aimloan.com to see if its in the ballpark as they consistantly have pretty low rates

I like option 3 because I’ve heard it isn’t as easy to get PMI dropped as one might think. Even if you get PMI taken off in 3-4yrs the payment in option 2 is only $31mo cheaper then option 3.

I would also not personally pay $1500 extra per month to mortgage unless your purchase is way below current market values.

Might be better to put that in savings or emergency fund in case market took another big hit.
