these charges and the actual amounts are buried in the loan
documentation. The wholesaler of the loan will give a bonus to
mortgage lenders and banks who charge as high of an interest rate that
they can.

with patience and simple negotiating can easily save you hundreds of
dollars every single month. Refinance now and see the benefits next
month.
