Honest Mortgage Brokers
People have learned to distrust mortgage brokers, because word of mouth has told them that many of these brokers are crooks who are only in it to line their own pockets.

Honest mortgage brokers can show you the tricks of the mortgage business while getting you the best loan terms available, because they have the contacts that you don't have on your own. What you need, though, is how to find that honest person, and this article is here to show you how.

    This case study talks about the difference between legal fees and illegal kickbacks between mortgage barrower, broker, and lender. Bettina J. Scheutz (the barrower) thought it was unfair that she had to pay an additional $516.00 to Home Mortgage Financial Corporation (the mortgage broker) for the yield spread premium. She already paid them $1,661 in direct fees, consisting of $688.00 for loan origination, $688.00 for loan discount, and $285.00 for processing, but Banc One (the mortgage lender) also gave Home Mortgage Financial Corporation a yield spread premium of $516.00 which is paid by the barrower through a higher interest rate.

    Those involved in the mortgage lending process have some duty to the borrower. They are expected to perform their specific duties in an ethical manner and have some form of direct or indirect contact with the client. Banks (Prime Market): Banks are lenders who generally handle all facets of the lending process through their own institution. They function differently from brokers in that they usually only service those clients with good credit ratings/scores of 700 or more. Mortgage Brokers (Sub-prime Market): According to HUD, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, mortgage brokers are involved in about sixty percent of all mortgage loan transactions. Brokers try to find the best loan for their clients by shopping their loan applications around to lenders who are willing to accept the clients credit package. Brokers generally service clients, known as B-C-D credit clients, with ratings/scores of 650 and below. In some instances, a major problem for borrowers is that a broker may work in the best interest of the lender as well. Furthermore, in some states they can act as brokers and lenders. Brokers can be considered dual agents. Brokers (1) originate loans using "table funding" provided by a pre-arranged buyer of the loan (2) originate loans using a line of credit from a bank/financial institution (3) originate loans using their own funds (4) bring the borrower and lender together in a transaction that they do…

    Twenty-five years ago, the banking industry successfully eliminated a critical restriction: the limit on the interest rate a lender can charge a borrower (“Do You Know What You”). These restrictions were known as usury laws. These laws were in effect for centuries prior to the 20th century (Geisst 2). Usury laws were established to protect the borrower from predatory behavior (Geisst 3). “Prior to the 20th century, charging interest on loans was considered heresy by the church. Anyone caught charging excessive interest was excommunicated and often punished” (Geisst 3). Banks fought for restrictions to be lifted arguing the usury laws were standing in the way of progress (“Do You Know What You”). Banks won the battle over consumers. The deregulation of the usury laws occurred in the early 1980’s and created a whole new invention, the unsecured credit card.…
