Central Connecticut State University: How should a borrower compare mortgage offers?
DIRECT ANSWER
Original source observation: October 16, 2026. Primary-source review: October 17, 2026. General educational guidance; no rate quote, commitment, program approval or underwriting result. Intended occupancy and rental use require lender/program review.
Request multiple Loan Estimates and compare principal and interest, any mortgage insurance, escrow for taxes and homeowners insurance, upfront costs and cash to close. Share the actual property taxes and HOA dues with lenders, and account separately for charges outside escrow.
