I shopped around for mortgages and picked the “best” one. Went with a local bank (about an hour away. I live in the city and bank is pretty rural). It even had a few positive reviews online. One thing I never asked about was being able to pay my mortgage online, foolish me assumed that was a given.
It’s been one year of getting my bank to mail checks to the mortgage lender. The worst part is that if I want to make an extra payment on to principal, I need to physically drive to the bank during business hours. I can send a check, but they “can’t guarantee” it will be applied to the principal.
Moral of the story: make sure you aren’t giving up modern day conveniences to save an extra $200.
