By Brother-in-Law wants to refinance the mortgage on his house. He is not paying points, or anything like that, just a few hundred dollar initiation fee, and some other little fees, but the total closing costs are $14K. I went to the detail, and they are charging him $6,000 for title insurance, and $7,000 for "transfer tax". He is not selling the house, or re-titling it in any way, but his mortgage broker swears that you have to pay that every time you re-finance. Does this sound on the level to anyone?

His broker is FOS. We refi'd ours and the total refi costs were well nunder $5k total, which the CU paid, most of which was the loan origination fee the CU usually charges.

$14k CLOSING costs on a refi ???
That's not right. They should be paying him to refi with them. Tell him to bail and to find a better ddal, even if he has money into it already What state is he in? State of shock I'm sure. |

It's pretty up there. Homes are cheaper because of no industry. Nice area to retire in. I'll take 100 degrees with no humidity over 80 plus degrees with humidity any day. ![]() |

BIL sent me this link from his broker: http://www.choicefinance.net/florida-closing-costs.htm If you scroll down a little, it does say you have to pay a "doc stamp" of $3.50 per thousand and an "intangible tax" of $2.50 per thousand, so even though it isn't a "transfer tax" per se, that site is saying what they are charging him for taxes is approximately correct. Thanks! |
