At this point in time, Do not believe any netbranch company that states they have a federal charter and a warehouse line so they can fund in all 50 states.
Total BS
A Federal Charter does allow you to be license exempt in all 50 states, but what good does that do if you their warehouse line got closed? |

David,
Welcome to the outpost!
I think you made a good move posting your question here before sending
them a check. As Rogan, pointed out there are are other threads on
the company you mentioned, so by all means do a site search.

I was with them for 3 months earlier in the year and they are nothing but a bunch of rich kids that developed a way of networking licenses accross the county. It is completely unorganized because if the licensee has a license in CA, it does not really mean that they are signed up with the same lenders as they are with the licensee in Oregon or any other states for that matter. It gets VERY confusing. Beware also that they tell you that you can operate in your own name yet they don't file for the DBA. When they go to file the DBA unless you pay an additionaL $2,000 a month they will not do it and kick you out of the network. Of course the upfront $4,000 are not refundable. Net Branches that have allowed their Branches to operate unther your own name are no longer around.
I would not want to be there when that happens.
Bob knows his stuff and he can tell you further about my experience and how he warned me. I would have a chat with him and hr will show you how to ask the right questions. Plus he represents some of the real ones outthere. |

Michael,
Thanks for the plug, it has been a while, hope you are doing well.
And, your comments of a factual nature, should really be of great
utility to anyone considering writing a large check to those folks.

Nick, most of the flat monthly fee deals, have the BM pay the 1st
month up front and some want set up fees and reserves also. |

| I agree with velecico, if you have the numbers then you shouldn't have to pay anything upfront. |

| HCI Mortgage offers a competitive net branch division. We are a mortgage banker licensed in 30 states and have our HUD approval. Of course, we follow rules and regulations set forth by HUD. We don't offer a set up fee either, the only fees that you will need to be concerned with from the start is the cost to license your location or any loan officer licenses. if interested in learning more about our program before you make a decision, call me at 570-647-7422 or email me at aloscig@hcimortgage.com. |

Does anyone heard or know anything about Sterling Home Mortgage? Anyone have any actual experience with them? I had a phone call with a recruiter and had a brief online presentation of their tools & systems that they use and they seem pretty together.
From I've found out about them thus far is kind of interesting. One of the things about their business model that perhaps makes them more secure is that they're COMPLETELY set up as a broker with all their lenders. Thus, they don't have the overhead of a warehouse line, inhouse UW, and all the expense / potential risks that come with Correspondent lending. Because of that their monthly fee is really cheap. |

I've talked to their Regional VP, Ms Campbell myself before.
Their flat fee $395.00 per month regardless of how many loans you originate, plus their virtual processing capability, attract me a lot.
I think I'm going to apply for a job with them. One thing bothers me though, I've made two calls to Ms Campbell n the past two days, and have not rceived a call back. Sort of like a let down.

There is a Sterling Home Mortgage in Illinois but it is a small shop that opened during the boom and I thought it had closed. What states does the sterling you reference have? |

One of my brokers signed up as they are in Kansas City right on the stateline.
Right after the broker signed up, he discovered they did not renew the KS license where 60% of his business was coming from.
Do you think the broker got his money back?

It blows me away to even hear someone talking about Net Branches now . . I was an ALLFUND child in the late 90's, learned my lesson the hard way.
Get your own license or take the time to work for a local broker who knows the biz. Thats all. |

Richard, many broker shops have shut down this past year, and more are shutting
down every day. This often leaves a broker and many LO's with out a home. While
some are leaving the business others are going with branch companies.
A branch might not have been the best thing for you, it could however,
be a good option for some other folks, no one option is best for everyone.
I help some companies hire VLO's also and for some folks with limited volume,
who want to work from home that is a good option also,
as the pay out is ussually much stronger than
they would get, from the broker down the street,
who also lacks a good size lender
list, FHA and the ability to not disclose YSP. |
