re: Mortgage Shopping

I operate in nationwide and I can typically beat any rate- but if I see a loan estimate that I can’t beat and it is legit, I advise my clients to take it.
Just seeing this… yes ARMs are a good option. Unfortunately They are pricing higher than 30 year fixed. Many sellers are offering buy downs which can really help in this market. Buyers are in the drivers seat so I’m seeing ppl getting great deals on houses
Professionally I am advising clients not to buy down points because they most likely will be refinancing this loan in 2 years (hence the extra fees we are seeing in the market, the market is pricing for a refinance)- However, we will see rates go back to the 4s. And for you, the 5.25% isn't a crazy rate to pay for 30 years.

re: Home Mortgage Rates

Originally it was forecasted to get better beginning in October when inflation numbers will begin to improve which will give us relief in Q4 and Q1 of 2023. I read this today which is a pretty bearish outlook...

"Mortgage rates and the 10-year Treasury yields move closely together. Both of these interest rates are hitting their “resistance” points. Once punctured the interest rates could move much higher. The concept of resistance points is principally based on the momentum of financial markets. Think of it as a battle line between two armies. The line will hold or break. Once broken there tend to be bigger than normal subsequent changes.


The 30-year mortgage rates have shown resistance at 8.2%, at 6.2%, and 4.2%. The 4.2% was already broken. It is now battling at 6.2%. If broken, the chart is implying mortgage rates popping higher to possibly 7% or even 8%."

With that being said, if you can afford the monthly payment on a home you like, you can refinance it or get an ARM. You may save more now buying a house than you did when rates were better.

In a typical market, conventional loan was a better rate than a jumbo. However, many investors are now offering jumbo rates that are better than conventional. Conventional loan limits just were raised to $715k - I would need to have your credit score, home value and loan amount to give you a better idea. I live in LA, I am licensed in MS and I have closed a lot of homes there. Reach out and I can give you an idea of what might be best. username@gmail.com.

Due to the current market, many investors will allow you to close residential loans in an LLC or you can lump the properties into one loan. You could even possibly qualify on cash flow from the rentals. Eustis wont have this product. Reach out username@gmail.com and I have a couple of ways to structure it. I am local in Baton Rouge

This is true- I send my higher network clients to banks. Banks want these loans for their portfolios. From what I have seen, this has not been true for your average borrower. Most banks will have the market rates for them

I can price it for you and send the parameters - email me at username@gmail.com


I would also look at community banks- They used to have the best pricing but it has been a couple months since I did it last. Things change so quickly I am not sure if they still have the best pricing
If a bank keeps the loan as a portfolio loan, then they do not have to price off the market. From what other clients have said, they usually make you bank a certain amount of money or have hidden fees. Many banks use the "brokers" to underwrite and process their loans- That fee for service is given to the borrower. Look over your loan estimate to ensure you do not have an additional fees. Depending where you live, you should only pay $1500 max in processing in UW fees

Not only are experts forecasting home prices will continue to appreciate nationwide this year, but most of them also actually increased their projections for home price appreciation from their original 2022 forecasts.?

Here are the current appreciation numbers:

Fannie Mae - 16%
Freddie Mac - 12.8%
NAR- 11.5%
Zelman 10%
HPES- 9.3%

Also historically, when the economy slows down, it doesn’t mean home values will fall. Four out of the last six recessions, home prices appreciated

Also, I forgot to mention, you can get a lower rate of 5.125% that will be $1037. Buy down is only worth it if you plan to keep the loan for x amount of time. If your broker is good, they can give you this estimate.

Go local - Better.com and other online lenders are financially hurting. Their model is only for low interest rate times and they are currently scraping to get by. This isnt an option. Many are publicly traded and this is public information. Even loan depot had an article out today that they are closing departments. Going local stays in your community.

Here is todays rate on the scenario you described below. We had a lock alert yesterday so rates did jump a bit yesterday. Local lenders can give you this rate if you give them credit score, purchase price, and loan amount. I estimated 760 credit score.

5.5%, no buydown, monthly payment is $1062. If you want more information you can email me at username@gmail.com

This is incorrect- Investors give better rates to loans with MI because it is considered "less risky"

re: Mortgage Shopping

Posted by TMFBB21 on 8/9/22 at 10:13 am to
You can pay your MI up front which sometimes is a better deal than paying monthly until you get to 20% - I would have to quote both options and see what your timeline to live in the house. If you plan to sell in the next five years, it might not be worth it. As for another rate quote, I can give you one if you are in LA or MS. Im typically less than most because I do not have a branch override fee. You can reply here or email (username @gmail.com) your credit score, and estimated house value. This would only be an estimate because I could not guarantee a rate until I had your contract and a complete application.
I can give you a quote without pulling your credit for Jumbo loans. Other options are a conventional with a HELOC. Depends what your needs are and your income type. Whatever you do, do not go to the online lenders. If you are buying a house, many real estate agents won't even consider the offer if the lender is not local. Reach out at username@gmail.com

Mortgage companies that were refinance call centers are getting desperate and shutting down regularly. Best advice is to use a local lender who doesn't sell this information. Let me know if you need a quote to compare. Jumbo loans are great products and I would need to compare your scenario and financial goals to tell you if a 7/1 arm is a good fit.
