Selling mortgages that weren't consummated, lenders running out of money, etc

The below was posted on a private facebook group for loan originators. I deem the poster credible, he participates, he's not a fly-by rando or anything like that.

The author of the below (assuming it's valid, and it probably is since it's so consistent with other stuff I've read, etc) is a 3rd party compliance person. A smaller mortgage outfit might retain such services b/c they don't have enough compliance work to warrant a full time compliance person or staff. Said lawyer will have several clients who "subscribe" to their ongoing legal compliance services. The "subscriber" is one small mortgage company among many other "subscribers" that the compliance lawyer would have. And keep in mind this is just from one single lawyer.

The investor/lender, whose name I've blacked out, as of today, still has the absolute best 'quoted' pricing around. They are the top left corner outfit here on this screenshot from a few days ago. If a loan originator fields a call from someone who wants "the absolute lowest rate I can lock for the lowest fees," and that loan originator is stupid enough to go down that rabbit hole, this is where that leads - everyone else is pricing to manage capacity and application volume (touch on that here), but they're still pricing like it's 2019 and correlating to the t-note and those other pre-covid co-correlates.

If you've got an in progress loan with them, you may want to revisit. Hopefully this is just a refinance, not a home purchase. First letter S, last letter T. There are a few others in that same category, one has the first letter A and last letter of 2nd word K. Most (ALL?) of them are converted non-qm lenders, non-qm is basically "subprime 2.0" (fastest growing segment of mortgage market in 2016-2019), but that market dried up entirely when COVID hit and no one would buy the paper, so they pivoted to doing Fannie type loans. You would have found them by calling a dozen or more loan originators, until you found the biggest sucker.

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...

Obtaining a real estate license as a hobby?

Hello, I am 24 years old - 2 years out of college and I have my main job. I was looking to get a real estate license (in California if location matters) as a hobby/for fun since I like real estate ever since I was in high school. In the past 2 years, I would go to open house in the weekends to look at homes for fun. I don’t plan to practice real estate full time as I have my main job but I am curious are there any benefits to this? In the future, I plan to own multiple properties and have rentals, so I was wondering if getting a real estate license can help me with it?

Advice? Moved out of my primary residence and now renting

I moved out of the house I own in August 2021, I lived there for 8 years, I have been renting an apartment the past 3 years and renting out my house. My current tenant is moving out in September. I seem to have just missed the living 2 years out of 5 years rule for being exempt from capital gains tax and my house being a primary home. Any advice on what the best thing to do would be moving forward? Continue to rent out my house? I'm happy with my rental, but wouldn't mind buying another property down the road. I could sell my house down the road and try to do a 1031 exchange? Moving back in my house isn't ideal because it's an hour away from where I currently live. I could take a HELOC perhaps and try to buy another property and continue renting for the long term? I do have a 2.4% mortgage rate on the house so I don't mind keeping it for a while. Thanks for everyone's advice. submitted by /u/Ok-Top-7859 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.co...
