Thanks for stopping by and commenting. @Christina: Just to clarify, this is our story from when we bought our home last year. Modular homes can be great (prefab "green" homes), but I know what you're talking about with the big lots of homes... seems so shady. @Miss Thrifty: I think that is more of a reaction of the credit crunch. I think it would hard for us to refinance here as well. @Kapil: I’m glad to read you’re enjoying the series. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

I'm actually quite jealous that you had loan people fighting for your custom. Here in the UK our home loan renewal is up for renewal in a few months time, and despite having a blemish-free credit record we are having a terrible time trying to find a halfway decent deal.

One treated it like they were trying to sell us a car ("What can I do to get you in one of these homes?" and the other one treated us like we were kids who didn't know what we were doing, and NEVER returned our phone calls. We ended up working with a contractor and stick-building our house... he was fabulous... and we're thrilled with the house. Makes me feel like I wish I could back to those modular dealers and have a "Pretty Woman" moment, where I show them my fabulous new house and tell them, "Big Mistake!" for not treating us better. I think you guys are definitely on the right track and have done your homework! Best wishes!

I am following your blog about the house purchase. I like the story telling format of your experience. This not only makes it sound personal but also gives you an idea of both - 1> the process that every prospective home owner will go through AND 2> the extra experiences that some of might have to go through ( like the other 2 loan officers) I live in a rented apartment and your series may give me some helpful insights. Kapil Kevin ,
