    So glad I got 2.5% on my 30 year fixed a couple of years ago when I refi’d.

    I NEVER thought I would see a rate that low. I am still amazed at it.

      2.75 on a 20 year when I refinanced in…2020 I think. You can bet your ass I have zero plans to sell. I would like some more land but not right now.
