Quicken Loans Settles

to play the video above you have to click the center right arrow and
again click the lower right arrow and voila a relaxing view of birds
migrating

So you think it's a great idea to apply for a mortgage with Quicken because, well, they advertise a bunch and they are online everywhere. You start typing in your name, social security number and date of birth. They pull your perfect credit. They send an email asking for your past two years W-2 forms, IRS taxes, current paycheck stubs and bank statements. You upload these after fumbling with saving them as pdf documents as opposed to taking photographs of them with your cell phone. 

Then you wait.
You wait a couple days.
You email them.
Then you wait.
You email and call them and no answer 90 days.
Then you wait.
Then you give up.

Here is a review of their services:

"We bought a house for our son to live in while he is in college. We applied through Quicken because we thought they would be quickest route since they advertise a fast and easy mortgage process. Wrong!
First of all, the communication with the lender was horrendous. Our loan was bounced between various offices, and there was no one direct contact person to communicate with. Every time it was moved, we had to explain the entire situation to a new person. Secondly, my husband and I own a cattle farm and some acreage. This blew their minds and they just could not understand how farm operations and agriculture loans work. They kept calling our farmland “vacant land” and wanted a mailing address for it. The amount of documentation the underwriters requested was completely absurd! After they drug the process out over 90 days, we had finally had enough and decided to just go with another lender. With the new lender, there were no issues at all ... us closed on the house in 30 days. I will NEVER choose


Two days ago Quicken Loans agreed to pay $32.5 million to settle a years-old lawsuit in which the Justice Department accused the lending company of mortgage fraud.
The settlement ends litigation filed four years ago, for which Quicken Loans spent in excess of ten million dollars in legal fees to avoid. Quicken was accused of influencing property appraisers to inflate home values after an initial appraisal was too low to get a loan approved. Quicken management and staff was aware that independent appraisers were told that if they didn't raise the value to the target expected the appraiser would get no more work. 
The lawsuit said Quicken Loans knowingly violated mortgage underwriting rules and closed bad loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration. It also claimed the company’s highest management knew about the issues.
Now some might not be worried about being able to get the cash out of your refinance that they want, or that the house you are buying isn't worth what the seller asked, and you agreed to pay. BUT as soon as the market goes down, we will all be back in the CRASH again.

VA Net Tangible Benefits Test




When a Veteran applies for a cash out refinance, and right now
is a marvelous time to take the lower interest rate, the Veterans
Administration protects the Vet by making certain they are
getting an excellent deal with the following conditions:

Net Tangible Benefit (NTB). NTB standards apply to all cash-out refinancing loans.
 It consists of the NTB test, Loan Comparison, and Home Equity Disclosure

Here are the ins and outs for the NTB test

(1) NTB Test. All cash-out refinancing loans must past pass the NTB test. This requirement is met if the refinancing loan satisfies at least one of the following: (a) The new loan eliminates monthly mortgage insurance; or (b) Loan term of the new loan is less than the loan term of the loan being refinanced; or (c) Interest rate of the new loan is less than the interest rate of the loan being refinanced. (Note: If the loan being refinanced had an adjustable interest rate or was modified, the current interest rate must be used when determining if this requirement has been met.); or (d) The monthly (principal and interest) payment of the new loan is less than the monthly (principal and interest) payment of the loan being refinanced; or (e) The Veteran’s monthly residual income is higher as a result of the new loan. (residual income, including refinancing monthly PITI (principal, interest, taxes, and insurance) payment vs. current residual income, including monthly PITI payment of the loan being refinanced.) In cases where TI amounts are changing between the application date and the closing date of the refinance transaction, the new TI amount will be used in determining residual income for both the current and refinanced loan); or (f) The new loan is used to payoff the Veteran’s interim construction loan; or (g) The new loan LTV is equal to or less than 90 percent of the reasonable value of the home, i.e. LTV ≤ 90%; or (h) Refinance of an adjustable-rate mortgage to a fixed-rate mortgage.

Even though mortgage rates are SUPER Low
In order to cash out refinance we need to ft the rule

Let's talk about how we can save you money!

Interest Rate Reduction Refinancing Loan (IRRRL) is a mortgage loan made to refinance an existing VA-guaranteed home loan at a lower interest rate.
