Q:
Is the impound payment a one-time charge at the time of refinance or is a charge will occur every month going forward?
A: At close you will establish an impound account (see your GFE for the number of months collected for taxes and insurance) and then pay 1/12 of your tax and insurance expense in each mortgage payment
Q:
Can I use my existing insurance company?
A: Yes, you may use any insurance company you like as long as the coverage meets the minimum lender requirements
Q:
Your tax and insurance estimates in your GFE are too high/low - what will actually be collected?
A: You impound account and monthly escrow payment will be 1/12 of your current tax and insurance bill.
Q:
Can I re-lock at lower rates if rates go down after I lock?
A: When you lock your rate you will have the option to purchase lock insurance. The cost of the insurance varies according to market volatility and is added to the total points you pay.
Q:
Is the 30 days lock in period usually long enough to close my loan?
A: Yes, 30 days is sufficient as long as you are available during the escrow period. If you are subordinating a 2nd mortgage a 45 day lock is recommended
