RAK house in Kennesaw

When I bought the house in Kennesaw in 2001 for 113.5k, the 30 yr mortgage was through Bank of North Georgia, part of Synovus.  I was working for another part of Synovus.  They immediately sold the mortgage and processing rights.

Several years later I refinanced for 30yr through BoNG, paying closing costs to do so.  Once again they sold the mortgage and processing rights.  The former wound up, I recently found out, w/FNMA.  The latter went to Wells Fargo.

Earlier this year or maybe even last year, WF said they would refinance.  Then again a few months ago they renewed the offer.  This time I was listening when they said "no closing costs".  So I did it for 20yr and cut my payment amount.  Just got a note from FNMA - they bought the mortgage.

Which means I got a lower payment and a shorter loan and FNMA got less income.  I'll bet WF got fees for the flip.
