By a stroke of luck, I found a much better deal and told Lender #1 I'm going with someone else, Lender #2, because it's a local lender and a better match for me right now. 

Brian Buffini, a luxury real-estate coach, says he tells most clients not to switch brokers because the disruption typically costs agents 20 percent of their sales volume in the first year.He says a more likely reason why some agents are switching: “They’re getting their ego stroked somewhere else,” Buffini says.Sometimes it can get ugly when agents do switch firms.

As Dawn Anastasi said above she isn't in this to become a multi millionaire , but her goal is to have more time while earning a mostly passive income ( versus working a full time job at least ) As they say, " different strokes for different folks " I recently heard that most people on their deathbed don't regret not being at work more.

I had a brain annurism and a stroke in late 2010.

For serenity, stroke the check and chalk up the little bit extra to shared appreciation.
