Anyone with knowledge on a construction loan?
When a bank holds back a interest reserve, is it as if it was funded and I’m charged interest on it?

Am considering a mortgage refi now that rates are back at historic lows.  Bank I am talking to is offering a 3.25% fixed rate 30-year mortgage with zero points.  About $3,500 in closing costs (bank fees, title insurance, appraisal, etc.)  Looks to me to be a good deal but was curious if there are any experts out there who might be able to weigh in...  thanks in advance!
3.25% seems significantly lower than todays rates, I wonder if there is a catch. Also $3500 is significantly below the average to refi. I did refi 2 years back and most people told me to expect 10k, i was glad to have paid 6k. In retro it was well worth it, bh already saved more than i spent.

Dan always emphasizes that business cards are not.

Key is not if it's business or personal. Most business cards don't get reported to the credit bureaus, so if you have a biz card that does like Cap1 it will iof course count.

Correct, I know that they do not reported on your credit profile.
Question is if someone know how the bank calculate, if they do somehow calculate business card balance or not.

Key is not if it's business or personal. Most business cards don't get reported to the credit bureaus, so if you have a biz card that does like Cap1 it will iof course count.

So it's not.

Do you know for a fact ? Or you assume ? (As me, and this is my question ..)
And yes of course speaking about cards that don't report to your credit.

Cards that don't get reported on your credit report will not be counted. Personal experience. Had close to 100k that I was floating at the time on business cards, and all that mattered to the bank was the few hundred dollars I had on my personal cards.

Since I see mortgage rates dropping, I got a quote today to refinance at 3% for 15 years (3.375% for 30 year). Fees around 1200 for closing and around 1500 for title insurance.
Am I missing any fees and is there anything better out there these days?
Lakewood NJ if that makes a difference
