Instead of us paying the $3000 in closing we would have had at the Mortagage company Citizens bank is paid all the closing costs. They have 2 different ways you can go prime or prime plus 1. We did prime %3.25 right now.

I don't quite follow. You took out a 2nd mtg and used the proceeds to pay the closing costs? Now you have 2 mortgages and two rates? Please clarify, don't get this Australian method.
I would like to go with Citizens since they're local and familiar with the market here in the Villages.
