Yea, personally experienced this. If you want the lowest rate, they will give you one way or another. PAR-rate is the word of the day!!!

[@LordLoMR2]

Get a bunch of mortgage quotes, then go with builders lender and have them match the lowest quote. Plus builder lenders will usually throw in $6k-$10k; then you can use that to buy points.

[@jfresh2054]

Discount points can be beneficial though. For me, especially with crazy high prices and high interest rates, I needed to buy more points to get my monthly Mortage where I wanted it to be.

[@georgiabrown8298]

Great information. Thank you.

Good info.

[@DanielD0414]

The best in the business great guy very Thank you for your time!

[@michaelmalley3791]

Thank you!

[@mr.c6674]

As of July 2022, discount points are not so bad DEPENDING on how long you plan to stay in the house, or if you will likely refinance sooner than later. Again, it depends.

[@fj5803]

Glad I found your channel got a lot of great information which was helpful. On the Loan Estimate with a Cash-Out Refinance with the same mortgage company what fees are there and is there a transfer taxes fee?

[@bottomlessinkwell]

Hey, great video well done. Love the information and that you explained it in such a calm and healthy way. Right now I’m getting ready to do a blended rate weighted analysis to try and transmute it into a new mortgage.

[@marcoszambrano2044]

You’re welcome, glad you found it helpful! You’ll do a blended rate if you’re getting a second mortgage or something like that. Don’t think it would lead to anything if it’s just 1 mortgage that you’re getting

[@tipumeah1078]

Thanks for this in depth video on mortgage costs as the process of buying a house can get confusing especially for new home buyers.

[@marcoszambrano2044]

My pleasure! Glad you found some value in this video!

[@rudycattuse2k]

I don’t know if want your credit pulled more than 2 times. It can lower your scores significantly, saving up on one end will cost you more money on the other end.

[@robertgonzalez8419]

Hey Marcos thank you for the information just curious to know where are you from be safe God bless

[@jerierefugia1809]

Very informative! I appreciate your explanation. You mentioned something about NEW CONSTRUCTION LOAN, Can you make a video on how to go about this process?

[@marcoszambrano2044]

You got it! Much appreciated :)

[@Lisssa_sanchez]

Great video, appreciate the information could i use your services as a lender if ever needed

[@loanshoppers]

Overall very good explanation from an upfront LO. I found nothing I could critique except for the hyperbole word "rip-off" and not mentioning non-QM loans have underwriting fees that are $1,495 and up. Sure, the uw fee can be wiped out but that increases the rate by .125% or the fee. Like he said "nothing in the USA is free".

[@msjazz2u2]

I watch mini videos being that is my third time by the home and you explained it so well I Lala Lala well well

[@JustinKeator]

Having a par rate! What a time two years ago was

[@TeslaBoy123]

On general real estate business is huge scam ripoff

[@marcoszambrano2044]

If you think so 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@blacklight3330]

everyone said to shop around. but when they run a check on you, they required a credit pull. if it happen a lot, then your credit will tank.. they know this and give you the worst terms and interest.

[@barefootgardens22]

No, if you get your credit pulled, you have 10 days, if I'm not mistaken, to shop around

[@nd9834]

​@@barefootgardens22what you said is true

[@LetsTalkMortgagePro]

Not if you only have a soft pull credit report done. That’s how I start all of my loans out.

[@cryscable]

You have 14 days to compare rates

[@Kieshak02]

It’s within 14 days and your okay

[@itsme_abir]

Lenders now issues multiple Loan Estimates document. How can you be sure they change the section A few days before closing?

[@handresga]

Origination fees of 1% are ok if the loan is borrower paid. If it is lender paid then you are double dipping as a loan officer and that is wrong

[@lourawaid-quinn1324]

I am buying first home. I have some better clarity now. One lender is charging me 2.75% origination fee. The other lender rocket mortgage increased interest rate so that I get some lender discounts. Neither one of them has yet told me what my par is

[@motivationformortals]

Great content! Going to save me thousands in origination fees! Keep up the good work

[@yvettearaiza1459]

Thank you for you video. In 2022 should the originator compensation fee $4988?

[@njperuviankid]

thank you bro not thinking about interrest only anymore. does this apply to home equity loans?

[@marcoszambrano2044]

Not really. You don’t have many options buying down the rate on a heloc

[@alexandermaciag377]

Great

[@jbob6429]

So for others who may be as confused as I was / still kinda am about getting a loan estimate I have given paperwork to 4 different lenders and only one has given me a loan estimate. Loan estimates are only given when you are really applying for the loan (Contract in hand). I don't have a good answer to why this is I have just gotten tired of every video I watch saying ya just get the loan estimate and then I ask the lender and the say nah we don't give that when you are shopping around only when you have a contract in hand. (If someone knows something I am missing feel free to let me know I still very much have no idea what I am doing just want to make sure others know I have not found it as easy to get the estimate from lenders)

[@LaUraka97]

This is happening to me. I ask for the loan estimate and they never give it to me. Its like if they don’t know what im talking about. Im frustrated. Idk i just feel im getting screwed by every lender im talking to.

[@casttheircrowns]

According to the, The Real Estate Settlement Procedure Act RESPA/ The, GFE= Good Faith Estimate, For closed-end reverse mortgages, a loan originator is required to provide a consumer with the standard GFE form that is designed to allow borrowers to shop for a mortgage loan by comparing settlement costs and loan terms. • The loan originator must provide the standard GFE to the borrower within three business days of receipt of an application for a mortgage loan. A loan originator is not required to provide a GFE if before the end of the three-business-day period, the application is denied or the borrower withdraws the application.

[@casttheircrowns]

Applying does not mean you have to sign- you can negotiate or decline to sign , There are scams to watch out for these days • The loan originator must provide the standard GFE to the borrower within three business days of receipt of an application for a mortgage loan.

[@hajabangura8540]

I just saw this your video and saw lots of ways to i was rip off when looking at my documents 😢😢

[@marcoszambrano2044]

Damn! Sorry to hear! At least now you know for the next time you do it!

[@candycane5077]

If someone’s dti is too high and you need to bring down the rate so they can qualify they will have to pay for that lower rate

[@vienna844]

Cool never knew

[@lovelyhills51]

I have a question on the va loan estimate on a 280,000.00 mortgage loan what percentage should a lender charge ? The *origination charge $5,298 *0.5% of loan amount (points) $1,400 *closing fee$895.00 *funding fee$495.00 *Processing fee$1,353 *underwriting fee$1,155 looking at your example has me thinking this lender is trying to get over. What are your thoughts?

[@doesitreallymatter8010]

Same here

[@tanshiqehsan8570]

Is 2% loan amount on FHA good for estimates?

[@OhxSnapples]

Should you pay for tax service fee?

[@candycane5077]

some lender use smart fees as a cushion and are not exact

[@kathiejohns1418]

But what if they pull your credit then they turn you down for whatever reason?Your credit is screwed & for nothing

[@ilonaumukoro3153]

This was so helpful. We are shopping for a lender currently and we had the lender immediately offer points. Key indicator that their rate is above par. Thank you for this really easy to understand explanation.

[@javieralonso8888]

What about cash out loans are they Supost to be more expansive on the fees

[@marcoszambrano2044]

Maybe a little more but not so much

[@adamnaughty]

my lender fee was charging me $10,000 thats a good business

[@Emotionallyattachedtorocks]

Over the life of the loan paying for points upfront could save you tens of thousands. Right?

[@marcoszambrano2044]

Over the life it may. You’ll still wanna calculate your break even point. Odds are, you’ll never pay off a mortgage in full over the term you got

[@nellyc3828]

One lender is charging 3.25% in origination fees..

[@kentheengineer592]

5:20 context is needed

[@LaUraka97]

I just spoke to my lender and she told me that in this market there are no free point right now. She gave me and interest rate higher than my par interest rate and i still have to pay for points is this true?

[@curious-abc-xyz]

God bless you! 🙏🏻

[@marcoszambrano2044]

Amen!
