I hear you on the “relationship pricing” thing. I had a lender try to sell me on that when I refinanced my duplex last year. They made it sound like I...

Totally agree with you about how confusing those Loan Estimates can be. When we refinanced last year, I thought I'd be prepared since we'd already gon...
