What Pete looks at

  • The rate and points: page 1 and section A on page 2. Points lower the rate, but cost cash today.
  • Lender fees: origination, underwriting and processing charges in section A.
  • Total loan costs: section D, the cleanest number for comparing lenders.
  • Lender credits: money the lender contributes toward your closing costs, often in exchange for a higher rate.
  • Cash to close: what you actually need to bring.

Builder incentives can make a quote look better than it is. Comparing total cost side by side is the only way to know.
