Commonly Asked QuestionsDoes the client’s payment history come to play?Could they simply be upside down on their loan?Can this be done for me personally and my friends and family?A HUGE Plus +++Who do YOU know that may benefit from this??
Compliance / DisclosureRESPA – Real Estate Settlement & Procedures Act: protects consumers from errors like undisclosed yield spreadMortgage lender does not reveal they are making any money on the back end of the loanTILA – Truth In Lending Act: Protects consumers from such violations as changes in interest rates from inception of the loan until day of closing where borrowers are unaware of rate changes until at the closing tablePredatory Lending – MAJOR VIOLATION
Compliance / DisclosureLess serious violations – maybe they were not given the RESPA book that’s to be provided by the lenderIndividuals being charged points for paying off old loans at the time of re-financeHOEPA – Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act: Designed to protect consumers who end up with high interest rates, as well as issues related to non-affordabilityFor instance, if clients were put into a negative amortization of 1-2%, then all of a sudden the interest rate adjusts – THIS REAKS OF PREDATORY LENDINGAppraisals – From about 2000-2008 for appraisal verifications, there were appraisers that were going out that were “working” for the mortgage bankers and they would inflate values125% LTV loans – Anyone remember those?
Collateral - AppraisalsWe review for weaknesses involving the appraisal report.  Do you think obvious “INFLATING” took place to meet certain numbers to make transactions work?We actually look at the comps from when the appraisal was done to create even more “LEVERAGE” for our clients.  Out of every audit company in the U.S., less than 2% even consider this strategy
Servicing LoansIf the escrow is messed up, which happens frequently, then it’s a RESPA violation which could end up in a “Principal Reduction”We review the index and margin per note to determine if the ARM loan is correctWe examine escrow accounts and verify all statements and make it our business to find all the errors.  You probably know someone with a messed up escrow, perhaps even you?
Additional FactsHow many loans do you think have errors in them on a percentage basis?  Fact: 80%60%of all banks cannot provide the original note to prove they own the loan (blue inking)
