LOL! Seriously?! NOT complaining. But NOT complacent either. I want the thing paid off....yesterday. Doing everything I can to get there. I wasn't born into money, so I had to get a loan, it's the darn ridiculous interest rates and all the grief we get when the note holder sells out mid stream and we have new people to deal with at the drop of a hat that gets on my nerves. Let's face the facts, mortgage companies do not go out of their way to disclose everything to the person seeking the loan either. If you miss one little bit of fine print, the sharks start circling. It's just annoying, almost as annoying as your post.ORChick said:
I'm not stupid, nor do I like being treated as if I am. When lenders flip your loan to another and throw a wrench into an otherwise smoothly moving along business deal...it tends to tick me off a bit. Soooo yeah I have a right to get ticked off. REGARDLESS of signing those papers. The company I signed those papers with is no longer who I deal with...meaning the folks I am now paying ARE NOT the ones I borrowed money from. WHOLE new ballgame, new "policies" new aggravating paperwork, new customer service. And honestly the new company REEKS! I'm ready to pay it off...moreso than when we first got it.
Over a thousand bucks a month in property taxes????FarmerChick said:my taxes went up this year
New Jersey is worst than CA
my grandmas house is on a postage size stamped yard with the neighbor's home literally in your lap.....taxes are $14,000 this year on a over 100 year old home--my aunt who owns the home now sure isn't happy with that lol
D) here in NC. I pay $700/year, but we get NO services whatsoever. Well - I guess it pays for the sheriff's dept. But I agree with Cinebar - how can anyone afford to live in a place where just your property taxes are $1000/month??!!?? 
And, I would imagine rent in places like that would have to be high as well because landlords would have to get enough to pay the taxes on their property.i_am2bz said:how can anyone afford to live in a place where just your property taxes are $1000/month??!!??
Have you considered a new mortgage with a firm you like better? Interest rates are still low, and you may be able to skip some of the closing costs. I know what you are taking about my morgage changed hands (either the bank was taken over or they 'sold the paper')5 times in the 9.9 years before I paid it off. Found out later that my habit of making extra payments were one of the reasons for the banks selling the paper, Extra work for them for less profit. What they really want is someone that keeps money in their bank (at low interest) and makes auto transfers from the account to the mortgage every month for 30 years.~gdWannabefree said:LOL!
