The same people that you are "hearing " from may be speaking about the sales tax. That is 8.25% in Plano.
Your monthly payments include PRINCIPLE, INTERST, Real estate TAXes which are addressed below and INSURANCE. The insurance will be for the house and perhaps what is called MIP. MIP is Mortgage Insurance Premiums and cover the mortgage for the lender. So while it is generally referred to as PITI (See caps above) it really includes a bit more. Home owner fees are paid by you separately so they need to be planned for outside the "monthly". Please understand that the size of the house will impact the cost of utilities. You might also want to take into consideration the distance to things that you normally visit, including a workplace and schools-the cost of gas has added to the impact of a home purchase as well. Just a few extra things to consider. Good luck with the hunt! - Tue May 20 2008, 09:25

It is good that you have some time before you want to move-sometimes it can take a bit longer than usual to close these properties. I also have some that I can send you. I would like to discuss specific needs and wants so that you get "good ones" and won't have to sort through the chaff. If you like I can help you get to the cream, as I also do loss mitigation for homeowners and have seen a few lately that might be of interest depending on your needs of course. - Wed May 14 2008, 19:30

I will go one step further-talk to this lender about Credit repair. They are a nationally known company and have spoken often about credit repair and about what not to do if you truly want to buy a home. Good luck and when you are ready-I can help on the home search end. Licenced and Experienced count! The attached link speaks about many topics that may help! - Wed May 14 2008, 16:11

They are right read the listing agreement. It is the "prevailing" document in this situation. If it says you agreed to pay...you can see where it goes. There is no set "fee" so it depends on what was agreed to in the original contract. None of us can say about right for you ,sorry! - Fri May 9 2008, 14:20
