More Lender Updates; Letters from the Trenches and Legal Updates Focused on the CFPB - 23 hours ago
Posted To: Pipeline PressLondon plans to use a painfully "High-Pitched Sound Generator" to disperse large crowds at the Olympics. Observers note that it will be Cindy Lauper's first paying gig since '86. Speaking of high-pitched noises (and no, this is not a lead in to a Taylor Swift joke), the constructive clamoring about the CFPB's flat fee continues . "The CFPB for consumer finance, in my opinion, is the same thing as the CFTC for commodity trading overseeing Future Commission Merchants and the SEC for stock broker/dealers. Both the futures and stock brokerage industries have formed self-regulating entities. The National Futures Association for commodities and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for stocks. The mortgage industry would be well served if the industry itself through the MBA or other...(read more)Forward this article via email:  Send a copy of this story to someone you know that may want to read it.
MBS RECAP: Slightly Bumpy Ride Late, But Important Level Holds - 1 day ago
Posted To: MBS CommentaryMBS Live : MBS Afternoon Market Summary 104-16 Turned out to be an important level for Fannie 3.5's today. There's more than the usual amount of content in the 'alerts and updates' section below if you're looking to get caught up on how it played out. Long story short, bond markets held up quite well on a Friday that mostly saw money flowing OUT of both sides of the market (i.e. equities and fixed-income both lower in price today). But even the late day volatility left the 104-16 technical level intact through 4pm. From now until MBS go out for the day, it's not out of the realm of possibility to see illiquidity take things a bit lower, but whether or not lenders react to that depends on the lender in question. If it were us, we'd call it a week. MBS Pricing Snapshot Pricing shown below is...(read more)Forward this article via email:  Send a copy of this story to someone you know that may want to read it.
Mortgage Rates Lower Still, But Progress Is Slow - 1 day ago
Posted To: Mortgage Rate WatchMortgage Rates improved marginally from yesterday's new all-time lows. Without any major scheduled events to digest, bond markets were left to their own devices and paid a decent amount of attention to a sell-off in stocks. When yields in the broader bond markets move lower, MBS (the "mortgage-backed securities" that most directly influence lenders' rates) tend to move lower in yield as well, allowing lenders to off lower costs, lower rates, or a combination of the two. With the recent move lower to a 3.75% Best-Execution level for 30yr Fixed Conventional loans, today's improvements were seen more in the form of decreased borrowing costs, or increased lender credit, as the case may be. If you're a first-time or even frequent reader looking for a bit more clarity on "best-execution," we just...(read more)Forward this article via email:  Send a copy of this story to someone you know that may want to read it.

Responsible Mortgage Lending Happens by Design

In today's real estate market, there is no room for cavalier attitudes or uneducated loan officers. 

Mortgage banking requires expert processes and constant monitoring in order to provide a successful home purchase or refinance.

Through a personal consultation, you will receive expert counsel with a clear focus on developing the goals for your mortgage loan.  Certainly we endeavor to make the loan process as simple and worry-free as possible.  That is expected.  However, a professional mortgage plan includes an analysis of all aspects of your mortgage needs.  For some they are simple, for others they can be more complex.  Either way, you owe it to yourself and your family to capitalize on the expertise of a planner who will assist you in creating a mortgage strategy that insures you are positioned in the best possible way to achieve your future financial goals.

Whether you are looking to purchase a home, refinance an existing loan or secure investment propert, our team is ready to assist you with securing the right plan for your unique needs.  

                                                   

Single Source Solution: One Application & Ten Bank Choices

Today’s real estate market respects no one.  There is no favoritism and no special consideration.  Today, if you desire to purchase or refinance a home, you must be able to secure multiple options to guarantee the best pricing, and even more important, the ability of the lender to fund your loan.

Here are several key points to consider;

Mortgage Banks  vs. Brokers: The pressure on Brokers is staggering and has resulted in major challenges for them in securing approvals. Each lender the Broker turns to can apply special “overlays” on their Fannie, Freddie, FHA and VA programs.  With Synergy Capital (branch office of American Capital), you gain direct access to numerous banks and with each one we provide all aspects of the loan process including origination, underwriting and funding.  We are able to secure timely solutions with in-house staff that is simply not available to brokers.

Multi Bank vs. Single Bank solution:  Mortgage Bankers (single bank) typically have a "bank first" policy restricting their Loan Officers to the terms and pricing for the parent bank. This can be a huge disadvantage to you as a client.  The multi bank solution offered by Synergy Capital provides underwriting and funding control while offering the flexibility of multiple lending sources, resulting in an improved ability to secure an approval as well as the most competitive interest rates.

Single Source Solution (SSS): When you can complete one loan application, one credit review, provide documentation one time, pay for one appraisal... and have the shopping advantage of multiple banks, you have a huge advantage. This SSS is what Synergy Capital brings to you and/or your client. 

Knowledge, Experience & Expertise: Every client’s needs and life situations are unique. Successful loan funding requires a unified team of professionals (not just a loan officer) to take you all the way through funding. Retail banks are split into divisions and departments. Broker offices must cope with unique lender overlays, compliance issues and lack of control with underwriting. Synergy Capital however works with you from the inception through to funding to navigate each loans unique needs and associated requirements.  From Loan Originator to Pre-Approval Manager to Processor to Special Programs Officer to Underwriter to Funder... we work together to ensure a successful Close Of Escrow

With Synergy Capital you allow yourself significant benefits; Price shopping between numerous banks, a mortgage advisor who is an expert in mortgage lending, single source application, a support team that is focused on securing your loan and an underwriting team with a clear goal of finding solutions to any challenge so we can fund your loan.

Experience the difference… Synergy Capital.
