Escrow and ING Direct $25 Bonus

In Texas property tax is very high. We will pay around $7000 a year or so on our home in taxes. Pretty high! I opted to not use escrow and keep the money myself so I can earn interest through the year.

So I am looking to banks such as ING direct to do this. I am looking for a $25 referral link and have asked a friend to send me one. I get $25 and he gets $10 when i open my account with at least $250.

We Closed in 2 Weeks on our Home

Yesterday we closed on our house in 2 weeks from the day the offer was accepted. Many people were surprised that we were able to get it done so quick.

My recommendations on closing so fast is to keep on top of the loan officers, insurance, inspections, appraisals, and everything else needed to close. There is not time to waste when closing on a house.

Closing fast on a home is not that hard to do. Get your paperwork in, and get the required things done as soon as possible. [Read more...]
