Company Loan Type APR Est. Pmt.

need a FHA lender recommendation

Posted on: 28th Aug, 2009 09:34 am
I asked the Bank of America guy about 203k and he freaked and refereed me to some one else at Bank of America. He also couldn't explain why my APR was 5.9%.

Anyhow, what is a reputable bank that can handle my FHA loan. I don't need a 203k, just a regular FHA. My top alternatives are citibank and wachovia, but I don't know how good they are at FHA loans. I want someone with a lot of experience.

you can't be serious.

can't be serious about what?

I got that list from hud.gov. Interestingly, the ex agent wasn't on that list, so I don't think he has ever done an FHA loan. Explains why he didn't seem to know what he was doing.

about expecting someone to go down that list and point out the one lender with whom you should do business...i just don't think that's realistic.

but of course, since you mentioned prospect on that list, go there...that's one of our branches.

oh I see. I just thought there would be one or two banks that are the best at FHA loans. I guess it's different from branch to branch so it's hard to recommend one. I'll check out prospect.
Posted on: 28th Aug, 2009 10:15 am
i don't think the branch to branch thing is necessarily so. i do know that here in CT we make tons of fha loans and that since our company is nationwide, we all use the same processing, underwriting and closing process. so since we are successful here, a branch in west harrison ought to be equally efficient. now if only they'd send me a pittance of what they'll make on your loan for this suggestion...

If I pick them (i am looking at 6 others) I'll mention your name. Can you tell me how long it takes to receive a pre approval letter at your branch?
Posted on: 28th Aug, 2009 10:24 am
in order to give preapproval (as opposed to prequalification), we request evidence of income, assets, etc. and we run a credit report. barring unforeseen circumstances, we can do so within a 24-hour period and often on the same day.

thanks for the info again! Do you know if Quicken loans is decent? I emailed like 6 or 7 different banks and they got back to me the fastest. Offering a 4.875% interest rate and pre approval within 30 minutes after I send them my papers. Only drwaback is that they aren't in my area. Don't know how I feel about getting a mortgage from the internet.

On this blog he is not supposed to solicit business, just provide advice. He is most knowledgable and professional and courteous.
He can not tell you to contact him, so, I will do it for him.

Quicken loans offered 4.875%??

What points or admin fees? A rate of 4.875% is almost a par rate which means they make nothing unless they charge something. You are welcome to talk to them, but, get more info.

Local versus online versus far away does not matter as much as someone who tells you the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Once again, call George.
