Don't buy foreign currency. Take it out of the ATM in the country, and spend it before you leave. Leave the currency in the place it belongs.

Depends on where you are going. We did a trip to India and we got charged several fees when withdrawing from State Bank of India. It would have been even higher if we had allowed State Bank of India to the currency conversion. Do your research before heading to a different country.

I don’t remember paying a mortgage broker commission. Do they hide that fee somehow? The mortgage closing costs did seem high.

100-xyz · 4 years ago

They will hide it in either closing costs or a slightly higher interest rate.

I've never heard of the buyer having to pay a mortgage broker a fee. When I bought my house I didn't have to pay them. The guy used gets a commission from the bank when he sales a mortgage.

However when I refinanced I didn't use a mortgage broker. I just went through my credit union.

100-xyz · 4 years ago

The commission paid by the bank is recouped by the bank by raising the interest rate slightly. One way or the other it's paid.

Most of the paperwork for offers etc are standard forms that are used in the state. You can put in an offer and get a mortgage on your own. There is some overhead of learning it, but it's not difficult. If you do run into anything tricky (covenants, etc), most agents just tell you to talk to a real estate lawyer anyways. You should be able to save the 3% that a buyer agent typically charges.

Thanks. Because it involves such a large investment and affects are life, I want to understand and learn it - so problem with overhead of learning.

Will research into the paperwork.

Ask if they do borrower paid compensation. you might also want to check a local credit union.

You might also try looking for mortgage brokers and small banks in smaller towns in CA with lower property values. They might be willing to give you a break since your loan amount will look big to them. And they are used to doing loans for 4-6K

Also make sure you get the inspections worked out upfront. Last thing you want to do is try to round up all the inspectors at the last minute.

Here are some you may need: pest, radon, structural, general, one with moisture detector
