Hi -
I'm seeking some advice and a little education. I'm giving a lot of info which may be immaterial, but would rather give more than not enough. Here goes...

I was just approved for a loan to refinance my home and will be financing 79k. I owe 40, have equity of 85k, will cash-out with 35k for home remodeling, plus 4k for closing costs.

I received a call from a loan officer who advised me about the 3% fees cap, but told me that I could pay a "little higher" interest rate because he couldn't lose money on the deal.

Is this a standard operating procedure by lenders?
Are there other options that I can request or suggest in order to have negotiating power?
I have excellent credit, so is a 1% increase in the interest rate considered a "little higher"? (5.75% to 6.75% before the rate drop yesterday)

Would appreciate some insight or creative ideas!

Thanks,
Gabby

That is not standard, Look elsewhere.

Hi Marty,

I appreciate your response, however at this time I am seeking help with the questions I currently have and am hoping for an exchange of information from a mentor on my present situation. Thank you for your offer.

Hi Gabby!

Welcome to Forums!

You can try to negotiate on the fee cap but 3% is minimum required. I do not think lenders will approve anything less than this.
