You can save $$$s by checking several lenders, but try to make sure it's apples to apples comparison, or you'll just get confused. 

When I’m driving around, I want to be able to place a marker when I’ve found a house I’m interested in. Or, when I put a bandit sign down (to keep track of its location). I assume this would interface with my smartpho...

Short answer, try maybe one more broker and a bank, get up to date loan estimates from each, and then compare apples to apples.

Me and my wife are literally eating only rice, beans, frozen fruit from Costco, apples and bananas and saving every single penny we can to be ready.I am very motivated and I hope to meet real people do want I want to achieve and I can help them out while learning.

I forgot I have the HAR app on my iPad and iPhone too.

I like it because I can access it from my iphone.

Because everyone teaches and stresses about making money in real estate, but not keeping track of their money.We all talk about individuals making millions and billions like Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and they enjoy the tax savings.

@Tony Mbuthia-  1) the  pricing of a  loan  wont be  detemined  until you have a  purchase contract so the pricing you  obtain from any lender   before  having a  property  is something you should  be able to   do  some  comparison  shopping   2)   if  contacting  multiple  lenders  to  get   pricing to  compare  -  use the  same  scenario - call them  on the  same  day  and  ask  your  questions and  ask for  quotes  ...do this  so you can compare  apples to  apples   and  dont compare a  quote  from last week  from one lender  to another  lenders   quote from today   3)   be aware soem  lenders  will  provide  super low quotes  and  also wont  include all the   3rd party fees    ( title /  appraisal /  escrow  etc )  when providing   quotes   so that their quotes  look  to be  superior  4) let me know if you would like a  sacramento Loan  officer  referral 

(there are exceptions... like toyota, apple, windows..)But for smaller entities like us... you brand you.

When getting bids, make sure you are comparing apples to apples.
