It seems extremely high for me and I would just love to know what the lender is doing - if they are taking me to the cleaners or if the closing costs are all pretty standard and I won't be able to find a better deal elsewhere.Also, if I SHOULD look elsewhere, how do I find a lender on my own?

It is always very satisfying to know that my 2 cents helped somebody or just made them smile.I try to reciprocate as much as I can by voting on posts that I find as helpful, informative, those that give me a chuckle and others that are just laugh out loud funny whenever I find them....whether I know the poster or not and whether they have ever voted for one of my posts or not.Having said that, it seems rather difficult to actually find the statistics on who voted for one of my posts in my profile data since I do not usually save the email notification.I have not found a way to find out who I voted for or what post or thread it was in unless I really spend some time trying to backtrack to find out that info.Is there a way to put these two bits of info at our fingertips within our profiles?

Every application we get is really weak and extremly risky.I agree with you, though about changing strategies given the state of things.

Investing out of state can be extremly challenging.

This latest one has me extremely interested but I do not know how to approach it.
