If yes, contact your borrower’s lawyer and ask them to email you the proof of payment leger. If that leger is good to go with no payments missed or showing lates, the lawyer will email you a letter on company letterhead stating so. Then the judge will more than likely sign off on the transaction. Usually, that will force the underwriter to comply. You will need a 24-month bank transaction statement from the borrower as well.

I would suggest you start with something you can work on yourself and drive semi-regularly. I bought a 2004 Subaru STI with all Cobb upgrades in 2010. It had the Cobb stage three everything. 450 HP at the wheels. It was a Porsche, AMG, M3 killer. Extremely lite weight. My top speed was 186 mph regularly on 110 pump gas. AWD, I could run with everything, and if I was in the canyons, good luck following me. My plate read EVO KLLR. I miss that car. I sold it in 2013 for a $10,000 profit. Find cars twenty-somethings will love when you are ready to sell.

Make sure the school you choose has options for mach tests and a study guide that can be printed. It may cost you $100 or more to print the review book. In my opinion, it is well worth it. If you have a significant other or spouse, get them involved. Have them quiz you from the review book.

MemberJuly 10, 2023 at 3:13 pm in reply to: What is Stopping You From Buying Your First Home This Year?In my experience these past two years, FTHBs feel like they are getting ripped off due to the steep rise in housing costs, mainly due to low inventory. Skyrocketing rates do not help either. It is our job to get our borrowers to understand the advantages of owning their first home.

This is something I always encourage my borrowers to investigate at the beginning of my conversation with them.

I have learned to make sure the agents involved, especially the selling agent knows what posting FHA-compliant home actually means. You will be surprised how many agents do not know what this means.

This boils down to the L.O. knowing what lender to go with and what lender or lenders to avoid.
