PLEASE do not use a mortgage broker. Go directly to the bank of your choice! You will save yourself a ton of money!

And, for sure you will hear from mortgage brokers that they get a special rate, bla bla bla that you as a consumer will not get.....don't believe it unless you walk into a bank together and the loan originator offers one rate to you and a quarter or half point rate lower to the broker. |

I have never once seen a bank beat a mortgage broker's deal, not once.
Where are the savings you speak of? I've never seen them and noticed you have posted this advice a couple of times.
Just wondering. |

They do, and are called wholesale rates. The broker my clients use beats banks rates and closing costs out all day long everyday. And not by just a little. I've seen 1% at times. |

OK..let's get down to business on this issue. I am buying in Feb 2009 a 7 unit complex in Concord. I have already spoken to my bank (BOA) regarding the transaction and I have some prelim. numbers.Needless to say, I cannot post personal information like this on a public forum board but if any MB would like to contact me by DM I will expand on the details with a qualified and accredited firm and obtain a rate.
I promise that I will report the results after I close on the property.

Bad advice is to tell a borrower only to shop banks or to only shop brokers.
Good advice is to tell a borrower to shop BOTH.  |
