Ibrahim S Have you seen the commitment (binder)?

Will shave 6.5 years off my loan and the mortgage will increase about $75.

I know that basing a deal of the property value of going up is not the smartest way to analyze the deal but this house(s) have a neighboring community that list well above 300,000 with fantastic amenities.  

He also told me that instead of the 2.5k it would be shaved off about 300 because of something or another.

The real issue is if your principal can pass marketable title.I'm not sure where the other poster is getting his information, however it is quite possible to close during probate if your principal(s) have sufficient capacity, powers and authority.

The kits include compact fluorescent light bulbs of various wattages, LED night lights, smart power strip, whistle that attaches to your HVAC air filter and alerts you when it's time to change the filter, low flow shower heads, dryer vent cleaning brush, water temperature thermometer, refrigerator thermometer, weatherstripping, caulking, foam pipe insulators, window film, rain gauges, etc.

Might take a little shave, but not much due to selling quickly. 

I hear banks sometimes check up on these things.But is shaving a point off your mortgage worth jeopardizing your FEIE by establishing a tax domicile?

I have a shaved head (for the past 25 years - before it was as acceptable) and I've actually had a handful of people ask me if I was ever worried that people would think I was a skinhead. 

Sometimes if the pipe is cut to low it can foam over.
