Trying to figure out which is the best way to go for myself. I don't want to go through my broker because knowing him he'll want to make something.

Basically its a pretty solid deal 720 O/O 368k loan amount 80% LTV CA.

Best Offer 4.5% on a 5/1 full amortized paying 0.25 plus 1300 lender fees. It seems pretty competitive to wholesale besides the 1300 lender fees. What do you guys think?

i think the 5/1 at wells is 4.625% paying close to an 1/8.

As of today I can do 4.25% on a 5 year ARM with a .25 point (4.375% 0 points). $995 underwriting fee and $495 processing.

This assumes impounds. If no impounds you'd be at 4.25 with a .5 cost or 4.375 with a .25 cost.

Appraisal will run between $275 and $375 with our AMC (it depends on what appraiser is randomly assigned to your file). Send me a PM if you're interested. My office is located in Orange County, CA so we may be nearby.

You want everything for free??

Nobody is going to do your loan for free.

Basically, somewhat new to this broker, old broker i worked for 3 years is out of the industry. If I were in his position, I would absolutely help my employees without making a buck, but that's just me.

Pretty interesting on the BofA employee thing though, isn't that for higher status jobs or do all their employees receive that?

I've always been intrigued by why people, especially in the industry, are so concerned with the interest rate? What difference does .25% mean on a rate when the interest is a tax write off anyway?

I understand being concerned with closing costs, but rate??

True. But a 1/4 on the rate doesn't amount to much when taking into account the write off. Maybe it's just me, but when purchasing in the past, I was always more concerned with the path of least resistance, figuring the less time I had to worry about my own deal the more time I could spend working on others. It might be just me....

a 400k loan over 7 years sure does matter.

That is a pretty ridiculous statement from anyone in this industry, let alone someone with so many posts. Granted most of them are articles you post, but still quite an ignorant statement.

He had to be joking.

Not a chance someone who actually works in the industry would say that.
