    ouch! were you underwater? That seems really high.
    Am I alone here? Is that it?
    Am I the only one who sees.

    Maybe we can learn to be just like him.

    No, sir.

    Well I'm f*cked. Wells Fargo bought my mortgage and it's backed my Freddie but since the original loan was backed my some mutual fund I won't get any help at all.

    I got my home refi'ed in aug, after 1 year. :-) went from 4.625 down to 3.5 going through costco. the closing fees were ~1.5k, and I'll make it up in about 11 months.

    After going through that, I found out my old house is backed by freddie, so using the same lender to get that harp refi'ed. who knows how long that'll take, but hopefully, the rates stay in the 3's.

    are you going through your current lender for this? you can pick ANY lender you want to do a harp refi. you may want to try talking with someone else, just to make sure. if you're only talking to your current bank, there may be some mis-information to keep you locked in a higher rate.

    my parents are up in northern nj, right outside of ny, and i know their closing costs are pretty high, but not 15k high. I think it was closer down to 1/2 of that (maybe the mortgage broker payments?).

    anyways, as long as you're making that money back real quick, it makes sense to you, so congrats. but it could be worth shopping around multiple places (local brokers as well as national brokers) and do an apples to apples comparison.
