Has anyone had any "luck", getting prepayment penalties waived with any lenders...
i.e., refinancing someone's ARM into a fixed rate loan?

Are you taking them back to the same lender? That's the only I've ever heard of lenders waiving pre pays.

LOL, I wish. In most cases the lenders are subprime and are no longer around.
I haven't attempted to have any prepays waived yet, I usually try and refinance the
prospects/clients after the PP has ended, or when the PP is within a month of ending.

I haven't tried in awhile, but I never had much luck.

Getting lenders to waive your pre-pay is a myth. The only conditions under which there's a remote possibility are few banks like world and wachovia that will waive their own pre-pay if you're sending the loan back to them.

If you're taking the clients from one bank and sending them to another bank and trying to get pre-pay waived, it will not happen.

What will most likely happen is that their bank will solicit them behind your back and offer them a better loan with no pre-pay.
