Its odd that you counted the orig. points in these numbers. This is generally the choice of the buyer and can vary by lender. Few of my clients opt for the orig. fee. This can mean a big difference in the numbers.

We need more competition in the mortgage business. The local mortgge companies that were local were almost killed in the lending frenzy. They are still alive in New Orleans since we are more conservative and behind the trends good and bad. Let Fannie and Freddie have some local competition with the same backing as they get.

Move them out of the Northeast, gett them closer to the people and away from Washington. Giving the CEO hundreds of million in bonuses that created this mess is a miscarriage of justice. People should treat my tax money like the earned it. I know I work hard for it. Just pissed since we could see this coming a few years ago.

Got my blog up and running. Thanks for you comments and time you spent with my questions last year. On Hurricane vacation.

Interesting that you mentioned this. I see less of this than I did 10 years ago. Maybe the new agents do not do this as much. In Louisiana and New Orleans all Saints are treated well.
