0:00.0 | Welcome to the Jill on Money Show. It is the first day of May, May 1st. Wow. April flew by for me. |
0:11.5 | And if you are thinking about what you're going to do for the summer, gosh, I'd love to hear |
0:16.6 | all about it. But before you turn your brain off for those summer months, how about getting in touch |
0:21.8 | with us? You can float any financial question by me and Mark. We're both certified financial planners. |
0:28.6 | All you need to do is go to Jill on Money.com and click the contact us button. When you do that, |
0:33.8 | what's so cool is that you are able to essentially come to us. Tell us your story. And we can actually |
0:42.8 | figure out some different options for you. Now, today, Mark, there's something kind of interesting |
0:47.2 | that's happening. Mortgage fees are going up. Now, this is a rule change that comes from |
0:56.3 | Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. You know the deal is usually that when you get a mortgage, |
1:02.7 | you get a better rate if you have a higher credit score. So, like, if you have a 780 credit score |
1:10.8 | and you put 20% down on a home, you're going to get the best rate. Well, these new fees are |
1:18.2 | kind of opposite of that because here's what happens. The scores that are being used for the fees |
1:25.8 | are kind of flipped on their heads because costs will increase if you have a higher credit score. |
1:32.5 | But if you have a lower score, fees will decrease. It may feel a little, it's almost like colleges, |
1:38.8 | like you pay full boat tuition and you've got, because you have a lot of money so that people who |
1:45.3 | don't have as much money can go for less. So, here's the deal. You got a credit score of 750. |
1:53.1 | Yeah, got a $400,000 loan, right? And you're going to end up saying, wait, I have to pay more |
2:02.8 | in fees. Yeah, you're going to pay 0.375% in fees up from a quarter. Now, I know that that sounds like |
2:11.6 | it's not that much. It's just going to bug you. So, it's like 750 bucks. Now, of course, |
2:16.8 | when you're doing hundreds of thousands of dollars and it's a long-term loan, it doesn't really |
2:20.9 | feel like a lot. But what you're going to do is you're going to hear about this. And when you hear |
2:25.2 | about it, you're going to say like, oh my god, that stinks. It's not fair, but it's actually not |
