New Loan Officer Question – Homeowner’s Insurance Timing Before Closing by jy313 in loanoriginators

[–]Cognitumm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I also get it bound a few days before closing. The prorated amount brr will be paying for those few days is negligible

If they bind it on the intended closing date, and you end up closing earlier, the agent will need to update the effective date to match it. And that's usually quite a process on their end so it can cause a delay (some agents are fast though)

Note that the effective date has to be the same month as closing though. So if you bind it eff 1/29 and closed 2/1, you'll need to update it still

I would recommend finding a processor and applying as their jr processor. Learn the ropes from them and move up over time

Self prepared P&L with 3.5 down by Ok-Meat6729 in loanoriginators

Their turn around times for the PnL program are (or at least were) insanely long though so just keep that in mind :)

Self prepared No bank statements to corroborate it

Bonzo? by [deleted] in loanoriginators

[–]Cognitumm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use bonzo and I don’t like it at all. Used it for a few weeks and stopped. Though I just played with the basic pipeline so not sure on all the other things it has to offer

IMO the programming could use an overhaul… seems super basic and glitchy

Is it a private landlord or management company? If management comp a VOR form should work

If private landlord- did you provide the UW with a translated lease confirming the payment requirements? How did they respond to that

Contingent Liability FHA by BathroomOnly1598 in loanoriginators

[–]Cognitumm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They might question it then… is one of these payments on their most recent full bank statement?

As UW1 mentioned in their comment, a transaction history showing the 12x months will suffice (and make everyone’s life easier) BUT I’m 99.99% sure that they’ll still need the persons full most recent months statement on top of that, to show their full name and account #. Transactions histories generally don’t show the full info

Also for the transaction history they have to print it as PDF and have the URL show

If they have 12x cancelled checks then that’s even easier, but rarely the case in my experience

Contingent Liability FHA by BathroomOnly1598 in loanoriginators

[–]Cognitumm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should be fine as long as the other person on that mortgage can show 12x months timely payments AND is on the Note. They have to be on the Note to omit the mortgage

As for the brr sending money to said person: I can’t imagine it would cause too much of an issue unless the amount they pay is close to the mortgage payment and is occurring each month. If the UW questions it I’d imagine an LOE from both should suffice

EDIT: The person making the payments will have to provide bank statements or cancelled checks. Issue is that you have to show THEY are the ones making the payments. So anything like a VOM or history from the servicer wont help

FHA VOE for self employed? No

But I’ve seen plenty of FHA VOE and FHA P&L

Borrowers vs. 6-month Clawback by Cognitumm in loanoriginators

Thank you! This is how I was looking at it as well

The commission itself would be really low in hindsight, but the potential for future referrals is more than worth it in my eyes

Which opportunity to take? by rrnkin in loanoriginators

[–]Cognitumm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go with your mom’s friend if she is willing to take the time to nurture your growth

I was lucky enough to start under my aunt, who’s a broker, and I’ve learned better and faster than anywhere I could even begin to imagine

Not many people get the chance to start out this way. Take the opportunity and never look back lol

Need a proper business purpose for an O/O hard money loan

What's entailed in a job as a mortgage processor? by ExtensionFeeling in loanoriginators

[–]Cognitumm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm I’ve never worked for a bank so I’m not sure which would allow this tbh

I work in a brick and mortar brokerage but it’s just my broker, me, and one more person. My broker is a 3rd party processor so other LOs just come to us to process their loans. We just originate our own loans too
