How soon should I start looking for a house to lease?
By · CommentsI currently live in Dallas, Texas and am thinking about moving to Austin in August. I have been perusing the internet lately looking at houses for lease. Am I looking too early? Am I just wasting my time looking for places 3 months in advance? Or am I too late? How early should I be looking and when is a good time to speak to someone about certain places, is there a too early date? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I am about to apply to assume a very small mortgage loan. I have great credit, no debt, and a very good/stable job.
I was about to make an appointment with a Wells Fargo rep, simply because that is the bank I always use and have been with since I was 16. However, I have no clue as to how reliable their loan department is, and I have no personal relationships with any of the consultants, so I have no idea who would be a good loan officer.
Like I said, its a small loan, so details don’t matter too much, my main concern is reliability, fiduciary, and specifically, confidentiality; the seller is related to me.
Any personal experiences would be great. I just have a feeling going with a large company like Wells Fargo, although reliable, wouldn’t give me the personal service a Loan Officer who is indepentant might. Thank you!

Can I deduct any of this on my 2007 taxes if so under what category? Orcan this be claimed on my taxes? Much obliged for the help.

Citimortgage only applies bi-weekly payments to the mortgage 12x/yr. Benefit is in the extra payment. I want true bi-weekly to reduce interest faster / payoff loan quicker. Anybody know a servicer that offers it ? I’m ready to refi over this !
I already pay extra towards principle. The difference is significant if the servicer accepts bi-weekly payments in addition to extra principle – the mortgage is paid off years earlier for no extra cash.
With the Fed’s decision to cut interest rates, I understand that banks will follow suit and lower interest rates. How fast will it take for these changes to go into place? At what point should people begin to investigate refinancing their mortgages and other loans where it will actually reflect the new rates?
