Signs Your Mortgage Lender Has High Fees and Is Overcharging You (Sneaky Lender Fees To Avoid) ⚠️🏠

[@melissabarton8510]

I have been licensed as a LO for sometime and have been following your content just to give me confirmation that there are still decent legit people in the industry. I left a top heavy retail branch because it didn't feel right when we are able to do better for people now. Unfortunately, in my market I haven't been able to get reestablished or get my message out like you are doing on this page. Great that you are keeping it real.

I have a phone call scheduled with her on the 22nd. She seems likely to steer me in the right direction. This will be my first home purchase and I'm confused on a lot of different things and don't trust many people when it comes to my money.

[@johns20901]

You’ll be in good shape with Jen and her team. They helped me get my first place in late 2020. I had checked out a number of online lenders and am so glad I went with Jen and G Rate.

[@thenewwayhome]

It's inflation, they say. "Prices are high, so our rates should be high, too." People should really beware of this kind of people. It's a great thing you presented this issue. Great work!

When you were saying 17k for closing costs are high what price range home is that for? I just bought a home for 410k and their lender fees were like 3k but he got me a 4.25% interest rate. The 17k included the like $8,000 a year for taxes in escrow

[@queenofallusa5391]

You can choose to not escrow your taxes and insurance which would probably be a better option because you’re paying interest off of that additional $8000 for your taxes which is being added to your principal amount.

[@queenofallusa5391]

Also I would look at a breakdown of your closing costs less the taxes and insurance. There would be $9000 left, what is that consisting of?

[@myson04]

I love your honesty and I'm so glad you're licensed in CA!

Listing Jenn on one of the people I watch to educate myself about real estate purchase. I just found out too late. My offer got accepted already and our closing date is too soon so I’ll work with the lender I have. I remember you mentioned Texas is your #1 state. Can you make a video about texas grants DPA with VA loan? Also, where do you even know the market stuff to base the lender fee so we know where to find it? Say here in North Texas. I thought origination fee varies on house prices. I remember them saying with one grant the origination fee is 1% of thr purchase price.

[@JenniferBeeston]

DPA is its own world and has fees that vary based on the program

[@Makinja]

Always compare with another lender as sometimes those incentives you are paying for with higher rates and fees

I’m thinking of doing the same thing now, did you use their lender? How’d it go?

Thanks for all the responses, pretty much been watching all your vids.

[@sapphire6107]

I see home prices are dropping but because of increasing interest rates, the monthly mortgage payment is still tight even for those who get qualified. I wonder if there is a little breather next year?

[@JenniferBeeston]

I am hoping for a rate breather mid next year but this is 100% crystal ball territory

[@thevlogspotwithyolanda345]

Wow 😮 just went through this mess with a lender on KZbin who claimed he could get anyone a loan....long story short he was charging $35,000 for the loan. My husband and I declined immediately. He never mentioned it until before closing.

[@davidchavez81]

I can't find an answer to my question. My mortgage company has itemized the closing fees and they seem to violate the 1% threshold. Will the VA ultimately certify the closing costs or is it possible for the mortgage company to "sneak" some fees by here and there without much accountability?

[@JenniferBeeston]

Check Box a as that is where lender fees are. They could do 1% origination and discount points and be within compliance. You need to look at rate, lender fee and discount points. Happy to look at for you. email to [e-mail]

What's your origination fee???

[@JenniferBeeston]

As of 2024 $1640 On Va loans it is waived

[@dbsellsaz]

The rate is whatever the client wants to pay for it. Any lender can bake their pay into the rate and charge $1,400 to the client. What is the lender paying you? Your making it sound like your getting paid $1,400 total to do the loan. That’s a little bit misleading isn’t it?

[@JenniferBeeston]

Welcome to the channel, I have quite a few videos on how lenders get paid. I suggest you go watch them if you have any questions:) The point of this video is that if your lender won’t talk about their rates and fees, it’s because they’re high. Also, if my rate is lower and my fee is lower, it actually does not matter what I get paid because the buyer is still getting a better deal than if they went with another lender.

[@AJENKINS1920]

what is your opinion on the 203k loan

[@DeborahSkipper-sk4hb]

She has not answered yet, but I can. The 203k is an Excellent loan if you need to go FHA! The home does not have to be sub-standard either. You may want things it does not have (there is a reasonable list of what you can not if you are rolling it in as well) or the home may be perfect but you need for it to be handicap accesible from inside or outside.
