Moving along

We ordered the appraisal on the house so things are moving apace. Looks like our lender is going to be HSBC which I find much more palatable than Chase (our previous lender). No real reason but it's nice to have all my banking in one place even if it wasn't I who pursued HSBC, rather our mortgage broker.

Rates are around 6.6 or 6.7 - fairly high. But we are a 2 family below the conforming jumbo loan limits so it is higher for us. At least that's what the mortgage broker is saying. I would really be pleased if we could somehow snag a 6.5% rate
