UWM’s Free 1-0 Lender-Paid Temporary Rate Buydown is available from May 6 to June 30, 2026, for agency purchase loans, including conventional and government options such as FHA, VA, and USDA, provided they meet UWM and agency guidelines.
UWM 1-0 Buydown: Basic Program Terms
- In the first year, UWM reduces the borrower’s interest rate by 1%, lowering payments at no cost to the borrower or broker.
- UWM covers the buydown cost with a lender credit.
Publicly Stated Requirements Include:
- This promotion applies only to purchase loans.
- UWM does not offer this lender-paid buydown for any refinancing.
- Eligibility is limited to agency products, including conventional and government-insured loans such as FHA, VA, and USDA.
- Both fixed and adjustable-rate purchase mortgages are eligible.
- Loan terms from 8 to 30 years qualify for this program.
- New loan locks are accepted from May 6 to June 30, 2026, during the offer period.
- The Control Your Price program is not eligible for this promotion.
LLPA Credit UWM Is Applying
- UWM applies a 0.875 LLPA credit for loan terms of 16 to 30 years.
- A 0.750 LLPA credit applies to loan terms of 8 to 15 years.
- UWM states that the lender credit fully offsets the cost of the 1-0 temporary buydown.
Minimum Borrower Requirements
UWM does not specify minimum FICO scores, debt-to-income ratios, reserves, loan-to-value ratios, occupancy, or automated underwriting requirements for the 1-0 buydown.
- Borrowers must meet standard criteria for their loan type.
- For Conventional, the file must satisfy the requirements of both Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac and UWM.
- For FHA, the file must satisfy FHA and UWM requirements.
- For VA, the file must satisfy VA and UWM requirements, including VA residual income and entitlements.
- For USDA, the file must meet USDA and UWM requirements, including property eligibility, income limits, and USDA approval.
- Borrowers must qualify based on the full note rate and payment, not the reduced first-year payment.
- The permanent interest rate remains unchanged.
Is It Lender-Paid or Borrower-Paid?
- The Free 1-0 Lender-Paid Temporary Rate Buydown is free for borrowers and brokers, as UWM covers the cost through a lender credit.
- UWM confirms that the borrower does not pay for this program.
Clarification is Needed on Whether the Program Affects Lender Paid or Borrower-Paid Compensation for Mortgage Loan Originators (MLOs).
In this context, “lender-paid” refers to the temporary buydown cost, not to the broker compensation structure.
While the program is a lender-paid buydown, it does not determine whether broker compensation is lender-paid or borrower-paid. Regulation Z prohibits compensation from varying based on loan terms or proxies. Dual compensation rules apply if the consumer pays the loan originator directly.
This Raises the Question of Whether Broker Compensation is Reduced Under the 2.75% Yield Spread Premium (YSP) Structure.
UWM states brokers should not lose compensation due to the free 1-0 lender-paid buydown. There is no extra cost to the broker, as the credit covers the buydown.
However, UWM does not publicly disclose how this program affects a broker’s exact 2.75% lender-paid compensation or YSP. These details are likely available through UWM’s broker portal, rate sheets, compensation agreements, or account executive guidance.
In summary, UWM’s public statements indicate the buydown should not reduce broker compensation. However, verify individual cases in EASE or with a UWM account executive if compensation appears below the expected 2.75%.
Key Questions for UWM Include:
- “Will the Free 1-0 Lender-Paid Temporary Rate Buydown LLPA credit maintain my total 2.75% LPC compensation, or can it also lower broker compensation on loans where the maximum premium is less than 2.75%?”
- UWM’s free 1-0 first-year temporary buydown is available for agency purchase loans, including Conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA, if the loan meets agency and UWM guidelines.
- The lender pays the buydown cost, not the borrower.
- UWM’s public statements indicate there is no cost to the borrower or broker, and broker compensation should not decrease as a result of the buydown.
- However, review UWM’s live pricing and compensation agreements to confirm the impact on the 2.75% YSP or lender-paid compensation, as this is not fully detailed in public announcements.

President Trump’s Special Assistant on the White House Domestic Policy Council Admits Advisors Make Decisions Based on What “Feels Like a Good Idea,” Says “There’s No Cost-Benefit,” Reveals WH Staff Independently Shape Domestic Policy Based on Their Own Interpretation of What Trump “Would Want” — as Executive Office Budget Manager Spills, “We Have To Get Rid of Trump.”
“In theory, everything should sort of come from the president…But it might come from the level below him [Trump] where they’re like, ‘I think I know the president well enough to say what he would say on this.’”
“There’s no cost benefits ….There’s no like, oh, well, this will cost $10 million, but save people $20.”
“He’s [Trump] f**king it up for everybody….We’ve got to get rid of him.”
Maxim Lott, a Special Assistant to President Trump on the White House Domestic Policy Council, admits domestic policy decisions are often made based on what “feels like a good idea,” without formal cost-benefit analysis and sometimes without President Trump’s direct involvement.
Lott reveals that White House officials frequently make decisions based on their own interpretation of Trump’s preferences, stating:
“I think I know the president well enough to say what he would say on this.”
Maxim Lott also acknowledges that policy proposals are advanced simply because officials believe “the base supports it,” adding:
“There’s no cost-benefit analysis… it’s just like, ‘this feels like a good idea’ alright, just sign.”
Meanwhile, Benjamin Ellisten, a Budget Analyst Manager within the Executive Office of the President, expressed, “We have to get rid of Trump,” while also calling the president “a madman” and insisting his coworkers “can’t know” how he truly feels about the current sitting President of the United States. We have received comments from Benjamin and Maxim. When OMG contacted Ellisten for comment, he sounded flustered and claimed he had “no idea what we’re talking about” before abruptly hanging up the phone.
Lott responded to our request to comment by stating: “I went out with an individual l thought was a genuine person, but it goes to show how insidious politics and this city can be. Nothing I said was contradictory of this Administration and I remain fully committed in helping carry out its agenda.”
We have reached out to the White House for comment.
Who is actually working inside the White House and for President Trump?

Five states have quietly built what amounts to an exit tax on homeowners trying to leave — and six more are drafting their version right now.
New Jersey has been running this play for 22 years. Massachusetts pulled in $5.7 billion in three years. Washington just signed its first state income tax since 1932 — and it follows former residents across state lines.
California’s Billionaire Tax Act has a retroactive trigger date that’s already behind us. And New York is pushing an estate tax change that would cut the homeowner exemption by nearly 90 percent.
This isn’t a partisan issue. It’s a pattern. Tax policy in America has always followed the same architecture — start at the top, sell it as fairness, expand it down. The 1913 income tax. The 1969 Alternative Minimum Tax. The 1937 Social Security tax. Same playbook, three different generations.
If you own a home in one of these eleven states, this video walks through the specific mechanism each state is using, the historical pattern that proves where this is headed, and what the smart money is paying attention to before these proposals become permanent law.

Why TONS of C8 Corvette Z06’s are Sitting at This Chevrolet Dealership currently in the US? The surprising sight of rows of C8 Corvette Z06 models sitting at a Chevrolet dealership in the US has sparked curiosity among car enthusiasts and industry watchers alike. These high-performance American supercars, known for their aggressive styling, flat-plane crank V8 engine, and track-ready capabilities, are typically in high demand—so why are so many C8 Corvette Z06 units sitting unsold? Several factors could be contributing, including rising interest rates affecting auto financing, dealer markups pushing prices far above MSRP, and a cooling market for luxury sports cars. Additionally, increased production numbers by Chevrolet may have finally caught up with demand, creating more inventory on dealership lots. Some buyers are also holding out for better deals or waiting to see what future Corvette variants will offer. This situation highlights a shift in the performance car market in the US, where even iconic models like the Corvette Z06 are feeling the effects of economic pressure, pricing strategies, and changing buyer behavior.

Contract mortgage processors provide outsourced support for a broker’s pipeline. The broker originates and structures the loan, while the processor handles disclosures (if requested), document collection, third-party orders, condition clearings, and moves the file to clear-to-close, similar to an in-house processor. This model is scalable for small brokerages, as payments are typically per file and due only upon loan funding.
Understanding Contract Mortgage Processing
Most broker-focused models use a flat fee per funded loan for contract processors or processing companies. This fee is typically disclosed on the Loan Estimate or Closing Disclosure as a third-party processing fee in the settlements section, not as internal overhead. The fee usually ranges from $900 to $1,200 per closed loan for full processing from disclosures through funding, though actual costs vary based on loan volume, complexity, and required services.
How Contract Processing Companies Operate
Many contract processing companies do not charge for loans that do not close, eliminating fixed salary expenses for unsuccessful transactions. In contrast, employing a full-time, in-house mortgage processor results in a fixed-cost structure. Nationwide data indicate that the annual salary for a Mortgage Loan Processor I in the United States typically falls within the low to mid-$40,000 range, with variations based on market, experience, and organization type.
Per-File Fees for Contract Processors: A Comprehensive Breakdown
Employers often supplement base salaries with bonuses and incentives tied to volume and pull-through rates. For small brokerage firms, at lower volumes (for example, 5 to 10 loans per month), the fully loaded per-file cost of a W-2 processor may exceed that of a contract processor. At higher, consistent volumes (mid-teens to over 20 loans per month), the in-house model becomes more cost-efficient per file. In-house processing also offers greater control over communication, operational standards, and branding.
Navigating Compliance and Liability in Hybrid Agreements
The downside of contract processing is competing with other loan officers and brokers for their attention. In-house processors become part of the core team, learning the lenders, overlays, preferred structures, and style, and you can modify their priorities as needed. However, you must bear their fixed costs during downtimes. For this reason, many small brokerage shops begin with contract processing and transition to in-house processing once the pipeline is steady enough to justify a full-time salary.
The Pros and Cons of a Split-Processor Arrangement
Having a processor work with both a processing company and a broker is common in the industry, but requires careful oversight. Some processors, as 1099 contractors, accept files from multiple brokers, including competitors. This is allowed as long as the processor does not perform licensed loan officer activities for multiple sponsors in violation of licensing or company policies.
Navigating Compliance and Liability in Hybrid Agreements
Compliance and conflict-of-interest issues must be addressed: broker and wholesale lender agreements must comply with non-competition clauses for shared staff; arrangements must avoid unearned fees or RESPA violations; and there must be clear, written agreements on payment terms, fee disclosures, and ownership of work product and data. It is often simpler to contract directly with a processing firm and request a specific processor, or to employ the processor directly as a W-2 or 1099 while keeping their other company relationships separate.
Making the Final Decision for Your Business
In these cases, the broker pays a base fee plus commission, while the processor may continue to contract with a processing company. Legal and accounting professionals should review these arrangements to ensure compliance with state independent contractor regulations and lender agreements. By analyzing monthly loan volume and composition, a brokerage can determine whether a fully contractual, hybrid (in-house plus contract overflow), or single dedicated 1099 processor model best balances economic and operational efficiency.

Silver has officially crossed $100 per ounce, and according to Kevin O’Leary, this move may only be the beginning. In this video, we break down Trump’s strategic plan for silver, why the metal has been quietly repositioned as a critical national asset, and how global supply shortages, China’s hoarding, and U.S. policy shifts could drive silver toward a $500 price target.
Kevin O’Leary explains how silver’s structural supply deficit, exploding demand from solar, EVs, AI, and defense, and the possibility of a new U.S. strategic silver reserve could permanently change the silver market. We also explore why silver inventories are collapsing, why short sellers may be trapped, and how government involvement could trigger one of the biggest commodity moves in modern history.
This video connects the dots between Trump’s critical minerals strategy, China’s export controls, and the hidden forces driving the silver market behind the scenes. Whether you are a long-term investor, trader, or someone trying to protect your purchasing power in an era of rising debt and money printing, this is a must-watch analysis.
