So the rate is on the house and land and we’ve tried 2 separate times before this to lock in. Even the man that sold us the house talked to the lady handling our loan and told her we needed to lock in and the lady said we needed to wait. Now they’re wanting us to pay $1200 to lock in the same rate that we could have paid 0 for like 4 weeks ago.

Are they asking for that money to pay down points? If so, that is common, but they should have let you lock in the rate whenever you wanted to. It's your call, not theirs. Maybe look for a different lender if it's not too late; they compete for your business/money.

That’s what we’re currently looking into also the house company is talking to the lender today to try and straighten things out

Hey David, Bouche03 on here is a mortgage guy you could pm him I’d bet. We just refinanced through him but he is local to us. Not sure if that matters

Well we found out today that as of today we have locked our rate in for 45 days at 3.5% and they want us to pay 657 which is better than 1200 but we’re gonna try and get that dropped as we were explained today it’s because mortgage lenders aren’t closing right now so I reckon that’s why the fee but we’re gonna try and get it dropped so we don’t have to pay. Wish us luck y’all were excited to have our rate.

That's a good rate. Lenders are crazy backlogged right now. Hope it all works out for you.

That’s a good rate as far as history goes! We actually had closing in our Grand Cherokee at the closing Co

It's especially a good rate for a mobile or modular home. Even with a foundation, many lenders don't do them, and the ones that do know there is less competition, so the rates stay higher usually.
When I refinanced mine, it was 2 points higher than if it would have been a conventional home.
If you got 3.5 locked, I would call it a win.

Nice to get your own place and land to go with it!

That’s right I’m making shift knobs for D-day they’re made out of cherry. I seeked the help of a local wood turner and she made them for me her name is Scarlette Rouse been doing it for 14 years. Plans are to do some wood burning and finish with epoxy and paracord. Let me know what y’all think. Cheers
