Mortgage lender?

Who is the best mortgage lender?
Thanks
The one that gives you the lowest rate with the lowest closing costs. Otherwise, who cares, it makes no difference at all who services your loan.

the 1 with the lowest rate
foolishaintit | Feb 20, 2008
The best mortgage lender is the one who returns your calls, answers to your satisfaction any questions you have during the process, and keeps you informed regularly.
Rates and fees are NOT the most important factor. You get what you pay for. There are a lot of con artists out there promising low rates and fees, but you'd be amazed how things can change once you've signed an application, contract or given them money.
To find a good mortgage lender, ask someone (or several someones) you know who has been through this before. A friends referral is much more valuable than any answer you will get here.

What happens to the money I have paid my mortgage lender for taxes and insurance now that they are in a BK ?
Aug 18, 2007 by April | Posted in Credit
Our mortgage lender has filed for bankruptcy. Our payments to the mortgage company include principle, interest, taxes and insurance (PITI). What happens to the money we have paid towards taxes and insurance ?? Since we have paid this money in advance with our payment, is the bankrupt mortgage lender required by law to pay them? If they don't, due to bankruptcy protection, are we responsible to pay the money that has already been received by the mortgage lender?? In other words, lets say we have made payments totaling $10,000 over the last 10 months, $2500 of which is taxes and insurance. If the mortgage lender does not pay the $2500 to the insurance company and to the IRS, do we have to come up with the $2500 to pay what the mortgage lender did not ??

No whom ever or better stated who ends up holding your mortgage also accepts not only the stated payments, but the financial responsibility for the escrow that has been paid in.
Pengy | Aug 18, 2007
Uhh why would any mortgage company be paying the IRS? Your escrow account would be for insurance and property taxes which are paid to the city/county/state where the property is located .
Your escrow account should transfer to whoever buys your mortgage. But I would double check that the insurance and taxes were paid on their due date just to make sure.

How easy is it to get a mortgage lender to agree to a short sale and waive the remaining debt?
Jan 06, 2009 by dflog | Posted in Personal Finance
I have two homes with one mortgage on each (same lender). One home is now in negative equity and has a high interest rate on the mortgage. Even though the bank refinanced the home only two years ago as an 80/20 loan, they will not allow me to refinance now. I thought about renting until the market get's better but I can not cover all of the costs.
Its easier to get the bank to approve a short sale recently. You will likely have to be several months behind and it will be an alternative to a foreclosure.
Check with your lender as they may issue a 1099 to you for the loss they incur. Then you are stuck with the taxes.
Its really tough out there and the market just keeps getting worse. I have been a RE appraiser for 23 years and never seen the market this bad.
Sorry for the bad news;

Can a lender from a second mortgage put a lean on my current house?
May 12, 2008 by Bryan N | Posted in Renting & Real Estate
I have two properthy. On one property I have two mortgage lender. If I were to forclose on my house, can the lender from a second mortgage put a lean on my current house?
Yes, it is called a deficiency judgement.
Dawni Do Right | May 12, 2008
Depends on the state and type of foreclosure. Judiciary foreclosures will allow the lender to get a judgment against you in which they can attach to your other property.
In California, the second are more likely to 1099 you than to pursue a judgment against you on investment property.
Regards...
satarnag01 | May 12, 2008
Yes, they can. If you fail to honor your financial obligation anywhere, it is the choice of that lender to pursue a court judgment, and then use that judgment to obtain liens on your personal property.

Can a mortgage lender pursue an owner that is not on mortgage for a deficiency balance?
Jul 24, 2008 by Pat | Posted in Renting & Real Estate
I purchased a residential investment property in Florida with my former boss. The mortgage is in his name only but I am also on the deed. He wants to let it go to foreclosure. Can the lender come after me for the deficiency balance. Will the foreclosure show on my credit?
Yes to both.
Replace | Jul 24, 2008
I would think that since you are not on the loan paperwork, the foreclosure would not show on your credit. I don't know if the lender can legally pursue action against you, though. You might be better off asking a real estate attorney or other financial expert.
wibelle37 | Jul 24, 2008
The house is collateral so they can foreclose on the house. If your name is not on the loan then I do not see a possible way they can put it on your credit or come after the balance. Your boss is the one they had the deal with, not you.
thenarcolepticone | Jul 24, 2008
I hope someone better qualified answer this, but it doesn't sound like they can get you, you didn't sign for the loan.
Tambo1228 | Jul 24, 2008
No. You lose any equity that there may have been on the property. If you want to keep the property, they would require you to pay them off (either in cash, or refi it into your name)...and fast. Ultimately, if it is just your boss on the loan, he is the only one the lender can go after. They don't have your SSN, and can't hit your credit without it. They have you sign the Deed so they have proof that you, as partial owner, are aware that a lien is being put on property you own. They may send you notices (since legally, you are part owner) and may try to get you to foot the bill in a desperate attempt to avoid having another house on their books, but don't fall for it. They don't have any recourse against you. You will basically just walk away from the property with no benefit or consequence.
summersnow | Jul 24, 2008
Talk with a lawyer. Usually No. However, . . . talk with a lawyer.
Real Estate Guy | Jul 24, 2008
The answer is NO. A mortgage is a "contract" stating that in the event you do not pay the debt, the collateral (the real estate) will be seized by the lender. You were not a party to this contract.
A Deed (normally a Warranty Deed) is a legal document showing ownership. It does not obligate you to any debt.
You were most likely put on Title after the mortgage was already placed on the property. By not signing the mortgage "contract" you did not obligate yourself financially for the debt.
Therefore you will not receive a foreclosure on your credit report, nor will you be liable for a deficiency judgment or 1099-C Cancellation of Debt Income.

How is Freddie Mac different as a mortgage lender than traditional lenders?
May 30, 2008 by binaryalgorithm | Posted in Personal Finance
I see that Freddie Mac is a government-sponsored mortgage lender and promotes safe and responsible borrowing. Has anyone had experiences with them? Would I be more likely to be able to qualify for a house with them? Are there certain reasons for choosing them vs. traditional lenders?
Freddie Mac does not give you a mortgage directly as a "traditional lender" does. Instead, Freddie Mac buys the mortgages that you get from traditional lender, who processes your application and gives you the mortgage. You cannot apply for a mortgage directly to Freddie Mac.

What is the best lender to choose for a mortgage in Florida?
Oct 16, 2008 by marlasobbing | Posted in Renting & Real Estate
It is so hard to pick a mortgage lender. They can only give you a range of interest percentages. You don't know the rate til you commit to them after you have already paid the application fees. What is the best lender in Florida for would-be homeowners?
An experienced loan officer who will work to find the best program for you is most important. The company which will offer you the best terms usually depends upon your specific situation especially income, savings and & financial history. Ask people if they can recommend one. Often, a quality real estate broker can be the best resource to recommend a few lenders or loan officers after learning a little about your circumstances. (Similar variables make it impossible for anyone to quote you a rate until they know your specifics.) Don't pay any significant application fees in any case. Top lenders do not require you to commit by paying hundreds of dollars (although a few may charge up to $20 to pull your credit reports).

I would use Wells Fargo. Great Company and very sound.
Naturals | Oct 16, 2008
Try http://www.providentfunding.com. They are called the price leader for a reason.
I used to use them exclusively for conforming loan scenarios when I worked in brokerage.
Also, try Third Federal. They have a PMI waiver available and good Jumbo pricing. They were tough to beat if you qualified for their programs.
Good luck.

How can I convince my mortgage lender to lower my interest rate?
Mar 24, 2008 by Please | Posted in Renting & Real Estate
My mortgage will go to adjustable soon and what can you tell your lender so the interest stays the same? I have a 3/1 arm.
You really have no control over your interest rate. You can try to plead that you don't have the money if it increases, but... tough shit. You can try to compare interest rates in your area, but it won't do any good because the terms of the loan you signed are unique.
That's the entire point of an ARM, the interest rate stays low for the first few years, then is subject to increase after that. Sorry if you don't understand this, but that is not your lender's fault.
You're not alone (millions of borrows don't understand the terms of the legal documents they sign regarding mortgages), but that might not give you much comfort.

Has anyone ever heard of a mortgage lender declining a loan because the home has geo thermal ?
Nov 14, 2007 by toots3320 | Posted in Renting & Real Estate
Three days before closing on our property, the lender decided that they would decline the loan as they noticed in the appraisal (that they had possession of for 5 weeks) that the home has geo-thermal. Our real estate agent and mortgage broker were both surprised by this. Has anyone else had this experience?
Odd, I would have thought a geothermal system would be an assett.

Can my mortgage lender take away funds from my checking account without my permission?
Jul 06, 2008 by Tomas Mora | Posted in Personal Finance
I'm almost three months behind with my mortgage payments. I bank with Bank of America which also happends to be the parent company of my lender (LaSalle Bank). Do they have the right to take my money? Do you think my lender is aware I have a checking account with them?
Finding The Right Reverse Mortgage Lender
Finding the right reverse mortgage lender is an important step to processing your reverse mortgage. However before you even talk to a reverse mortgage lender there is the small matter of seeing a counselor. Anyone interested in applying for a reverse mortgage is obligated by law to see an independent counselor who will then issue a certificate to prove that the counseling session has taken place.
Sounds like red tape? It is just one of the safety measures put into place to protect you and your money. The reverse mortgage has been designed to keep your money safe. Counseling is a great place to hear the reverse mortgage pros and cons.
Finding A Lender
Finding a reverse mortgage lender is actually very simple. All reverse mortgage lenders belong to the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association. This association has a code of conduct that specifies the responsibility of lenders to clients. Finding a lender in your area is a matter of simply visiting the NRMLA website and selecting your state, you will then be provided with a list of companies that offer this service.
The Right Choice
The right reverse mortgage lender is invariably one that offers you the best rates. This will mean some research on your part. Look carefully at the rates being offered to you and decide what works best for you. Most reverse mortgage lenders have standard and capped interest rates, which means that you might not find a vast difference in rates and interest fees being offered to you. Make sure that any company you work with has signed the NRMLA Code of Conduct and is listed on its website.
The best way to ensure you are making the right choice is to ask as many questions as possible. If there's anything on your mind don't be afraid to ask. You should feel like you are being treated fairly, competently, and with professionalism. If you feel that certain reverse mortgage lenders are not behaving professionally then look somewhere else.
