GFE Review please

[Debt Slayer]

I got this GFE back in June 2011 however the deal fell thru because my score had dropped.

Can someone please review this so I can figure out whether I should go back to the same lender?

Nothing stands out as horrible - I have no idea what rates were then so hard to comment towards that -

Thanks Brian. Im thinking about doing 5/1 ARM...what kind of rates should I expect with a score of 677?

I am not sure

with the 30 yr so low right now our bank suspended the ARMs and is only doing 15 and 30

Unless you know for a fact that you wont be there in 5 years I would advise against the 5/1 - a few years of lower payments could get eaten up quick if in 5 years rates are up from today -

Based on where the 30 if though I would assume a 5/1 would be low 3's or possibly high 2's

Good Luck

With rates as low as they are now I wouldn't touch an arm unless it was in the 2's and doubt many are going to do that. With rates this low I couldn't imagine not just locking in and being done with it.

please explain locking the rate? you pay an amount in advance to keep the current til closing?

i believe the broker can pay the lock for you for X days..i think 30 or 45...they are making enough money that it shouldnt be an issue i do remember in the old days customers could pay for it too but am not all that familiar with it anymore
