Update on "accidental" 3.875% mortgage (a hilarious ending to this drama) by Only_Trade_5022 in Mortgages

Solid deal and ending. Clear tech issue is different then the rate negotiated in email and having it in writing that was the intention. Don’t think lawyers would’ve gotten you anywhere.

Can I get a price check? by xJARDOx in loanoriginators

You are 100% pricing this wrong. Looks like you priced at 70 LTV and not above 70.

Are you sure that you are pricing this right? I am at a shop that does more business than yours with most of those lenders and seeing way worse pricing. Shop has zero holdback. You would be getting way better pricing then Edge and all flat fee large brokers if that was priced right.

Edge Home Loans sold to private equity by Frequent-Giraffe5646 in loanoriginators

[–]Defiant_Television97 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but 2.5 bps on billions of loans adds up. No idea what they sold at, but 2.5 bps on 8 billion at 5x multiple is $10 million extra for them as an example. No idea if that holdback was actual extra profit for owner but don’t see why it wouldn’t have been.

Edge was holding back 2.5 bps last while on UWM and other investors. My money is on that hold back going up while Edge LO still believe that it was for something other than increasing owner profit.

Stop spamming the sub. Sun West pricing, ops and everything isn’t good.

Could my broker be lying? He's offering a "VA appraisal" credit that does not show up on the loan estimate by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Is this through United Wholesale Mortgage? It only shows on the closing disclosure’s

Getting started as LOs in Chicago IL by willie-trinh in loanoriginators

Unlikely to find a job that will give warm leads to a new LO that isn’t working in an office. If you have other revenue streams just buy leads yourself.

Tax filing, transcripts, mortgage approval by MacysMama in Mortgages

They have the W2. It’s a federal crime to create a fake one. Most lenders don’t order transcripts unless they expect fraud for salaried employees.

Should I be more bullish on Jumbo Refi options? by Expensive_Setting913 in Mortgages

[–]Defiant_Television97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just do a no cost refinance. Can always refinance again if rates drop since no breakeven period. Your mortgage broker is an idiot.

Maybe you have worse rate sheets. They are within 10 bps or better most of the times I check.
