RA's half truth about your annual fee
As part of its campaign to sell the borrowing of $2MM or $2.5MM, RA has highlighted the reduce increase in assessment fees over the next two years. In fact, the difference is only $12.
What they specifically don't tell you is that the sweetheart "interest only" loan deal only covers the first 2 years. They RA (& you) get whacked. Your annual fee will have to go up an additional $22 or $27 (depending on the loan size) to cover the full P&I payments. Your out more than if RA stayed with cash, and that doesn't count payroll escalation and more dumb "needs" ideas.
Don't swallow this half truth.
