Oh i'm way past 680 right now. unfortunately, i've been trying to get it higher FOR NOTHING!!!

As far as a rate goes, I found a lender NCB (national consumer cooperative bank) and the rate quote I received with my specifics for a coop was 6.00

It sucks that i've worked so hard to build up great credit but due to the nature of the security (a coop apartment) i have to pay more on the rate.

Coop apartments in NYC are so common, even hard to get in!

I have never worked with a co-op. I do know they carry their own set of guidelines when it comes to financing. I think NYC is one of the few places the secondary mortgage market will lend on a co-op.

In the grand scheme of things 6.0% fixed is a good rate.

the insanity!

If the payment is on your credit report, or if you have it on your statement, you are covered and they can not use the 4% because you have proof of payment....the 4 or 5% is only used when there is no proof of payment

If your monthly debt load is 300 - show your lender and you are golden

pp $180,000+-
loan amount $171,000 or $162,000 depending on whether i do 5% or 10% down (wamu's minimum was 10%, some coop boards want much more but i'm targeting sponsor sales- no minimum, no board interview, minimal hassle)

I'm also willing to pay more on the rate provided i can get LPMI (at least i can right off the interest as opposed to regular PMI)
