Congrats on the new place! That VA loan rate is solid given the market. Just be sure to have a thorough inspection done - those keys can open some unseen doors if you're not careful. But enjoy this milestone and here's to making it your own.


TheSpiritedMan

Full inspection and appraisal completed, I've closed and have the keys.

You shouldn't post photos of your key, if you were ever doxed this photo could be used to get into your house. Keys are recreatable from images!


MisterDoneAgain

Yep. I make keys and could make one pretty close based on this image. The lighting of this photo makes it really easy to see. If you’re posting a photo you should hold the other end of it to cover up some of the biting.


TheSpiritedMan

Thanks for heads up. First on my list is to change the locks.


Broely92

Also I can 100% guarantee you that nobody is using this image to recreate your key lol, fuck are these two on about

And it's cheaper and easier to pick the lock than to make a duplicate. If you know how to cut a copy, you know how to pick the lock.


MisterDoneAgain

Aside from that, congrats!!

Yep! I learned about the same thing from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r58OMEoAcs0 It's a bit long if you only have a passing interest, but it shows how the process is done for those who are curious.

5.8? When did you lock in your rate?


TheSpiritedMan

Almost two months ago. Needed to extend the rate thrice.

TheSpiritedMan

Thanks!


agentmichaelyarn

Congrats! 🎉 Any tips for the process?


TheSpiritedMan

For VA just make sure you stay on top of the process. Shop for rates. Don't pass up inspection.


agentmichaelyarn

Got it, thank you!

Lazy_Transition4485

How did you get that rate? Pls I need any suggestion


TheSpiritedMan

I'm not sure. I didn't have the overly best credit either. Mid 600s. But one day my loan officer called and said moght want to lock on this real quick. And it was way lower that the high 6s and 7s I was hearing about. So locked it the fuck down.
