The rules of mortgage lending are there to protect the lender, not to help you buy a home. Underwriters aren't paid to make loans — their job is to find a reason to say no.
As a correspondent lender with broad wholesale access, my job is to understand those arbitrary guidelines as well as the underwriter does — then structure your application so the answer is yes.
Read: How Mortgage Lending Really WorksWholesale choice. Direct-lender control.
Straight Deal Mortgage funds loans on its own warehouse lines as a correspondent lender with a select group of investors, while I still shop every loan against a broad wholesale panel.
That gives me room to set compensation loan by loan, use the loan's value to offset eligible costs, choose the appraisal company, and control the timeline instead of waiting in a wholesale queue.
