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

Fast Rising HOA Fees on NYC Condo, No Budget Provided

My wife and I are first time homeowners and could use some advice on a situation we've been having with our management company and Board. We bought a condo in Brooklyn two years ago, and since then our HOA fees have climbed dramatically. In August of last year, our fees were increased by ~30% and just yesterday we received notice that this new figure would be increased by 16% as of June 1st. The by-laws for our building state that ten days before such a change goes into effect, the Board must provide unit owners with the itemized budget upon which the new numbers were based. This didn't happen last year, and when I asked the management company about it, they just kept vaguely insisting the Board had done due diligence. After I kept pressing, they finally sent a budget that was several years old, so obviously not the one that the new numbers were based on. When I asked the management company for contact information for the Board to get further clarification, I was told that th

How to create fidelity investments current bank statement for lender during escrow

I transferred a certain amount to my bank account to complete the minimum down payment required. The bank wants a current statement of the transaction. Unfortunately, fidelity only does quarterly statements so a December statement is not available and we are due to close next week. I called fidelity and they they can only provide a letter but the bank said that won’t suffice. Any way I can find or make one of my own that has my account number/name along with all the recent month’s activities? submitted by /u/bodaciousbeans [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/zmnnqo/how_to_create_fidelity_investments_current_bank/
