It is ridiculous how Healthcare costs are skyrocketing. Mortgage lending have caps for costs and fees such as the high cost rule. Borrowers cannot be charged more than 5% of the total cost of the loan which included third-party costs such as prepaid, escrow, homeowners insurance, title charges, etc. Compare the high cost cap to Healthcare. Especially prescription drugs.

Can anyone tell me more about contract processing? I do not know how contract processing works and want to know how this concept will benefit my home buyer. I have been a real estate agent and managing broker for 25 years and have worked with dozens of loan officers over the years and never hear of such thing. Is it better for real estate agents to refer clients to mortgage brokers without contract processing? Do real estate agents connect with contract mortgage processors? Who pays for contract processing? Are contract mortgage processors competent and experienced? I think processing is the most important step throughout the mortgage process. Thank you in advance.

Are there any reputable credit repair companies anyone at GCA FORUMS can recommend? I am a licensed real estate agent in Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Tennessee, and Kentucky and represent homebuyers of residential and commercial properties. However, many of my clients are in need of a credit repair consultant to rebuild, re-establish, and boost their credit scores during times of high mortgage rates and lenders requiring higher credit standards. I have spoken to Felix Nicolas and he said that Gustan Cho was working on vetting a few reputable national credit repair companies and he will be making an announcement on the GCA FORUMS sometime this week. We are in desperate need of a credit repair consultant to help hard working homebuyers and investment property investors. Thank you in advance.

I would like to know more about Costa Rica 🇨🇷. Since I can work remotely, I was thinking about traveling more and enjoying life. Life is way too short and the older you get, the father time passes. God gave each of us one life to be the best we can be and become successful. Everyone’s definition of success is different. Some people are happy living in one place and living off their social security income and pass away in the very small town where they were born. Others want to travel the entire world 🌎 and become billionaires and still do not think they succeeded in life. My goal is to travel the United States 🇺🇸 with my Class A motorhome. I like to visit every state in the United States before I pass. I always want to visit and purchase vacation homes, AirBnB’d or investment properties. One of the places I am curious about is Costa Rica 🇨🇷. Both in having a waterfront condo, home, or apartment buildings for investment. I like to research about the government of Costa Rica 🇨🇷, their currency, economy, weather, school systems and education platforms, people, cost of living, economy, growth and growth potential, medical care, housing market, foods, entertainment industry, financial markets, employment opportunities, job opportunities, law and order, crime, business opportunities, and everything about Costa Rica. I see potential growth opportunities in Costa Rica and would love ❤️ to start a detailed online message board about everything Costa Rica. Thank you all in advance.

I bought a pair of $1,000 brand new eye glasses which which I placed on my night stand for less than 5 minutes last night next to my nightstand. Next to my much needed $1,000 brand new eye glasses were 3 cheap disposable reading glasses from Walgreens. My 10 month old German Shepherd puppy takes my $1,000 eyeglasses instead of the other cheap disposable reading glasses to his Kennel and destroys him. My German Shepherd puppy has a serious habit of taking my shit to his Kennel and collecting them. All my shoes 👞 are gone and when I retrieve them, 3 minutes later they are gone. A major problem. I am beginning to think my dog 🐕 is stealing my shit on purpose.

After a fantastic day on Tuesday and frustrating little bounce after yesterday’s Retail Sales data, mortgage rates have fully recovered back to the recent lows.
Any time rates move enough to merit a discussion, it coincides with a similar move in the broader bond market. Bonds are currently highly susceptible to economic data (as seen on Tue/Wed).
Whereas Wednesday’s data pushed bond yields and interest rates higher, Thursday’s data sang a different tune. weekly Jobless Claims (not to be confused with the big monthly “jobs report” that comes out on the first week of any given month) were higher than expected and several other reports also spoke to a modest uptick in economic headwinds.
The economy may not like headwinds, but what’s bad for the economy is generally good for bonds/rates. Today was no exception. As bonds erased all of yesterday’s losses, interest rates moved back in line with best recent levels. For some lenders, that was Tuesday. For others, it was last Friday.

A true mentor, friend, business Associate, Leader, and hands down the best inspiration, Kevin DeLory, The Chief Lending Officer at Equity Prime Mortgage (EPM). I never spoke or directly ever communicated with this great man and leader, Kevin DeLory. However, I have grown very fond of this great man and seem I have known him all my life. I first became curious about The leadership of Equity Prime Mortgage became I became intrigued with working with a young talented wholesale account executive three years ago, Christian Sorenson. I became very fond of Christian Sorenson over the years and beloved it or not, Christian Sorenson was part of a package deal when I was negotiating my employment for a P and L Branch at NEXA Mortgage with CEO Mike Kortas. I respectfully requested to CEO Kortas if TEAM GCA is moving to NEXA Mortgage, Christian Sorenson needs to be our EPM account executive even though there were other talented EPM wholesale reps. Having interest,friends, family, fondness, and experience in law enforcement, I started poking around the foundation of EPM and that’s how God dropped Kevin DeLory on my lap. WOW!!! Every one of his messages is spiritual and not a statement that I do not agree with this legend of a great man. Seems I known Kevin DeLory all my life. I become to know him more and more as time passed and asked a favor to Christian Sorenson if he can arrange a phone call between the two of us. There is not a person in the world 🌎 who I have prayed more for than Kevin DeLory. My foundation is you are who you hang with. It’s the people that make a great team. It’s the team that make a great company. Kevin DeLory is the type of leader we need for decades to come to make this World a better place for our children, and grandchildren. God Bless this GREAT FRIEND AND 🙏 ❤️ LEADER. WE LOVE YOU KEVIN DELORY

-
Geography: Rhode Island is located in the New England region of the northeastern United States.

Occupancy fraud, also known as occupancy misrepresentation or occupancy fraud scheme, is a type of fraudulent activity that occurs in various industries, including real estate and insurance. It involves misrepresenting the occupancy status of a property or the intended use of a property for personal gain or to obtain favorable terms or benefits. Here are some common examples of occupancy fraud:
-
Mortgage Fraud: In the context of real estate, occupancy fraud can occur when a borrower misrepresents their intention to live in a property as their primary residence when, in fact, they plan to use it as an investment property or a vacation home. This misrepresentation may be done to secure a lower interest rate or down payment requirement, as primary residence mortgages often have more favorable terms.
-
Insurance Fraud: In the insurance industry, occupancy fraud can occur when an insured individual misrepresents the occupancy status of a property to obtain lower insurance premiums. For example, someone may claim that a property is their primary residence when it is actually vacant or used as a rental property to secure lower insurance rates.
-
Rental Fraud: In the rental market, tenants may engage in occupancy fraud by subletting or renting out their leased property without the landlord’s knowledge or consent. This can lead to unauthorized occupants living in the property, potentially violating lease agreements and causing legal issues.
-
Government Programs Fraud: Some government programs and incentives are based on the occupancy status of a property. Individuals or businesses may engage in occupancy fraud to qualify for these programs when they are not eligible, potentially receiving subsidies or benefits they do not deserve.
Occupancy fraud is illegal and can have serious consequences, including financial penalties, legal actions, and damage to one’s reputation. Lenders, insurers, landlords, and government agencies often investigate and take measures to detect and prevent occupancy fraud to protect their interests and maintain the integrity of their programs and services.

Manufactured homes, often referred to as mobile homes or trailers, are housing units that are built in a factory and then transported to their final site. These homes are designed to be more affordable and efficient compared to traditional site-built homes. Here are some key characteristics and information about manufactured homes:
-
Construction: Manufactured homes are constructed in a controlled factory environment, typically using assembly line techniques. This controlled environment allows for better quality control and efficiency in the construction process.
-
Mobility: One of the distinguishing features of manufactured homes is their mobility. They are built on a steel chassis with wheels, making them transportable to different locations. This mobility is why they are sometimes called “mobile homes.”
-
HUD Code: In the United States, manufactured homes are regulated by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Homes that meet specific construction and safety standards outlined in the HUD Code are considered manufactured homes. The HUD Code sets standards for things like structural integrity, energy efficiency, and safety features.
-
Sizes and Styles: Manufactured homes come in various sizes and styles, ranging from single-wide to double-wide or even larger. Single-wide homes are narrower and typically have a single section, while double-wide homes are wider and consist of two sections that are joined together.
-
Affordability: Manufactured homes are often more affordable than traditional site-built homes, making them an attractive housing option for individuals or families on a budget. However, their resale value can be lower than that of site-built homes.
-
Customization: While there is some level of customization available for manufactured homes, they are generally less customizable than site-built homes. Buyers can often choose from a range of floor plans, finishes, and features, but major structural changes may be limited.
-
Placement: Manufactured homes can be placed in a variety of settings, including mobile home parks, rural properties, and private lots. However, zoning and land-use regulations may affect where you can place a manufactured home.
-
Financing: Financing options for manufactured homes may differ from those for site-built homes. There are specialized loans, such as chattel loans, that are designed for mobile homes. Additionally, if the home is permanently affixed to land you own, you may be able to secure a traditional mortgage.
-
Maintenance: Like any home, manufactured homes require regular maintenance to ensure they remain in good condition. This includes upkeep of the exterior, roofing, plumbing, and electrical systems.
It’s important to note that the term “manufactured home” is distinct from “modular home.” Modular homes are also factory-built but are constructed in sections or modules that are transported to the site and then assembled on a foundation. They often conform to local building codes and can resemble traditional site-built homes more closely.
The specific regulations and terminology related to manufactured homes may vary by country and region, so it’s important to familiarize yourself with local rules and guidelines if you are considering purchasing or living in a manufactured home.
