so my wife talked to the lender today.

4.125% interest rate. $1200/month includes taxes and insurance and was "a high side estimate so it could possibly be lower."

apparently the lender said we probably could go up to $200k if we wanted, but i don't think we really even wanted to spend $180k so i'm gonna assume that the payment will be a little under $1200/month.

i'm gonna assume the general advice here is going to be to shop around?

if so, what lenders do you recommend?

That sounds right, as far as shopping around , just remember if you drop the interest rate a full point (which would be tough given your credit scores) your monthly note only goes down about a hundred dollars, and if you get out of the VA system you will likely pay PMI , so don't expect any big changes

that rate is high. VA rates are like FHA rates they should be lower than conventional rates. I always recommend Whitney Bank but I am biased I work for them.
