ING sent me a pre-approval letter for the above stated mortgage terms. You have to be a customer for the flat $555 closing costs and apply and commit by 10/31/05. They also have a "lowest rate promise" where your rate is guaranteed for 90 days on a home purchase. biggrin.gif

I am a moron when it comes to real estate stuff. Are these terms much better than what you can get from an average bank?

Thanks,

Mark

For comparison sake, ING included a flyer with APR's of some other lenders for the same type of loan (source: bank sites as of 9/9/05):
Countrywide 6.335%
ETrade 6.210%
Bank of America 6.144%
E-Loan 6.321%
Obviously the larger your mortgage the bigger the difference the 5.900% would save you. I've purchased two homes with the closing costs being $2000 or more, so the flat fee of $555 for closing costs seems to be a good deal as well.

Thanks for your explanations! The ING offer seems like a real good deal.
