Difference between us is you probably closed on a primary while I closed on a 2 family, investment, cash out which is the trifecta worse case scenario for mortgage rates.

2.6%, 30 year, 500k
Was offered 2.3% for the 15 year
No points

I wanted to correct my previous post in case you didn't reach out because the bank doesn't offer mortgages in your state.
15 year 2.3%: KeyBank
30 year 2.6%: Kearny Bank

They have branches in NY and NJ and definitely offer mortgages in these two states.

Are rates higher for a condo (primary home)?

No points but she's been very cranky about extending these rates to others.
I believe KeyBank doesn't offer mortgages in NJ.

The Kearny Bank rep (30 year rate listed) has been a lot more helpful and while he might not have that rate right now, he can get back to you when the rate is at that level and lock you in (these things fluctuate on a day to day basis- might be 2.7% today and 2.6% tomorrow.)

Hi, I'd appreciate if any experts can weigh in.

Our Kollel stipend is paid directly to our landlord, check written out to his name. For SNAP purposes, we'd like a letter that states this info something to the effect of:

John Doe is full-time researcher at our ABC Institution. We are paying his monthly rent directly to his landlord in the amount of $x,xxx.

Once this letter is used, the school won't change it for us. Meaning, we can't have a letter written differently for mortgage etc. purposes.

Specifically for getting a mortgage, will such a letter work for us? Will the amount be counted as income? Or will we be writing off the kollel stipend from ever being a factor in being approved for a mortgage.

Thank you

No bank will take just a letter for a mortgage

For snap and Medicaid letters might be enough, when it comes to a mortgage, you need much more than just a letter.

Thank you for your response. More than the letter, it seems we won't be able to count as income ever once we use such a letter. Will there be anyway for a bank to count this money in the future if it isn't called income?
