This small town in Texas with 50 full time cops in a town of 250 residents reminds me of Rosemont Illinois. The Rosemont police department has similar ratio of cops versus residents of Rosemont. If you want to be a cop wannabe, Rosemont Illinois is where you want to set up residency.

Mortgage brokers and mortgage bankers originate home loans for homeowners and homebuyers as well as real estate investors. Mortgage brokers have wholesale lending relationships with wholesale mortgage investors and financial institutions. Mortgage brokers get paid a yield spread premium or commission of a maximum of 2.75%. The maximum commission a mortgage broker can make is 2.75% for the entire mortgage broker company. Mortgage brokers has access to multiple wholesale mortgage investors whereas mortgage brokers are captive and only have access to their own products. There are no maximum commission mortgage bankers. Mortgage bankers can charge 5% or more in commission. The higher the commission the higher the rate to the consumer.

A mortgage banker and a correspondent lender are both involved in the mortgage industry, but they operate differently in terms of their roles and functions:
Mortgage Banker:
A mortgage banker is typically a financial institution or company that originates, processes, underwrites, and funds mortgage loans using its own funds or a credit line.Mortgage bankers often work directly with borrowers, taking their loan applications, processing them, and making the final lending decision.After closing the loan, mortgage bankers might continue to service the loan themselves or sell it to investors on the secondary mortgage market.
Correspondent Lender:
A correspondent lender, on the other hand, acts as an intermediary between the borrower and a larger mortgage lender or investor.Correspondent lenders originate and fund mortgage loans using their own capital or credit lines but typically underwrite and close the loans in their own name.However, rather than keeping the loans on their books, correspondent lenders sell them to larger mortgage lenders or investors shortly after closing. These larger lenders may include banks, mortgage companies, or government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) like Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
In summary, the primary distinction lies in how they handle the loans after origination and closing. Mortgage bankers usually retain the loans on their balance sheets or service them, while correspondent lenders typically sell the loans to other entities shortly after closing.

A mini-correspondent mortgage lender is a type of mortgage lender that operates in a similar manner to a traditional correspondent lender but on a smaller scale. Correspondent lenders typically originate and fund mortgages using their own funds or credit lines before selling them to larger financial institutions or investors. Mini-correspondent lenders typically work with a smaller group of investors or lenders and may have more limited resources compared to larger correspondent lenders.
Mini-correspondent lenders often originate loans in their own name and may perform some underwriting and processing functions in-house, but they typically sell the loans shortly after closing to larger investors or lenders. This model allows smaller lenders to participate in the mortgage market and earn fees and profits from originating loans without having to hold them on their balance sheet long-term.
It’s important to note that regulations and definitions may vary, so the specific characteristics and requirements of mini-correspondent lenders may differ depending on the jurisdiction and the policies of the entities involved.
Correspondent Lender:
Correspondent lenders typically have the ability to underwrite loans, meaning they assess the risk of lending money to a borrower and determine whether to approve the loan.
After originating the loan, the correspondent lender may either hold onto the loan in its portfolio or sell it to a larger lender or investor in the secondary mortgage market.
Correspondent lenders often have delegated underwriting authority, which means they can approve loans without needing approval from a third-party investor.
A correspondent lender is a financial institution or mortgage company that originates and funds mortgage loans in its own name.
Mini-Correspondent Lender:
A mini-correspondent lender operates similarly to a correspondent lender but with some distinctions.
A mini-correspondent lender originates mortgage loans in its own name but typically relies on a third-party investor to underwrite and fund the loans.
While mini-correspondent lenders may perform some underwriting tasks, such as initial screening or pre-approval, they do not have full underwriting authority like correspondent lenders.
Mini-correspondent lenders often sell the loans they originate to larger lenders or investors shortly after closing, rather than holding them in their portfolio.
In summary, the main difference between a correspondent lender and a mini-correspondent lender lies in their level of involvement in the underwriting process and their ability to hold onto loans versus selling them to third-party investors. Correspondent lenders have more autonomy and responsibility for underwriting and loan decisions, while mini-correspondent lenders operate with less autonomy and often rely on external investors for underwriting and funding.
