Mortgage Technology, June 2006 issue
Brankers Unite!
A new organization has emerged that caters specifically to the broker wishing to move into a banker position. BrankerConnect, Novato, Calif., is a partnership formed in January of this year, between Garrett Watts & Co., a national mortgage banking consulting firm, and ComUnity Lending, a nationwide mortgage banker founded in 1980, with 108 retail branches in 39 states.
The BrankerConnect proposition is that they will mentor the broker through the conversion process, while managing the operational aspects of banking, including furnishing the technology, until the broker can function independently as a banker. Additionally, they will help the prospective banker develop a relationship with two warehouse lenders.
The technology consists of a proprietary system called Seamless, with a SQL database, Web interface and a data interface with the warehouse lender, built in-house by ComUnity Lending 13 years ago. "It draws docs, has all loan level data, has an interface into their accounting system. So essentially we're renting the mortgage banking platform to mortgage brokers," said Corky Watts, a pioneer in the development of the Web for mortgage lending.
"Part of the value proposition is we will train the operational people, and after they have gone through the two-week training program, there's another two weeks at our Nevada training office working on the prospective banker's files," explained Mr. Watts. "So it ends up being about a four-week period altogether, depending on how they do with the training. Some might take an extra week."
After the training, BC imbeds "Mortgage Masters" in the broker's shop. These experienced people do all the underwriting, documents and funding - only for loans to be funded and purchased by ComUnity Lending. ComUnity then performs due diligence after closing.
Mr. Watts explained that a small, recently converted mortgage banker, who has a minimum net worth, is at a comparative disadvantage compared with a larger bank, with worse pricing. "So essentially what ComUnity is doing, through getting all of these prospective bankers together and pooling all the loans, is to get a better execution than these guys would get if they were trying to deliver on their own. We feel that we can get a better price and then pass that benefit on to them," he said.
"We just started this," he added. "We have a couple of betas. This is brand new, as it's only been in effect for about 90 days. We actually funded our first loan about two weeks ago."

Warehouse Line Mortgage Lending Process
The objective to both the warehouse lender and the mortgage company is to create a profitable business relationship. The warehouse lender can make secure loans approved and underwritten according to various agency guidelines, and the mortgage company will be able to make a profitable spread on each mortgage used by this warehouse line.
To make the warehouse lender secure, it must have three items:
A marketable first lien mortgage in which it can obtain unrestricted title.
The mortgage to be pre-sold to a permanent mortgage investor limiting the time exposure to the lender.
Complete control of the funds on the sale to the permanent investor.
The loans are approved prior to funding and specific closing instructions are given to the title companies instructing them to close the loan only when the mortgage is a first lien with a good and marketable title. In addition, prior to closing, the mortgage will be pre-sold with a written commitment in possession from an approved third party investor. After closing, the mortgage is sold to the permanent investor, and all monies from the sale will go directly to the warehouse lender for dispersal.
Under our current program, the warehouse lender will advance up to a maximum of 100% of the loan amounts which are to be purchased by third party companies or which are to be pooled.
The first stage of a mortgage loan is for the mortgage banker to take a loan application from the homebuyer. The mortgage banker then secures an investor in the secondary market. The loan is then processed and submitted to underwriting for approval. Once the loan is approved, it is then sent to closing."
Warehouse Line Company Information
Warehouse Line Company Information: "Our entire warehouse line program is managed by mortgage bankers, not bankers.
We warehouse and fund all A paper products which include FHA, VA, conventional and jumbo loans. Approvals for funding include direct endorsement (FHA), VA automatic or prior approved (VA), DU and LP.
There are no legal preparation fees, no annual renewal fees or no non-usage fees to pay with obtaining this warehouse line.
The average time for approval after receiving a complete package is approximately two weeks or less.
We only require that you fax us the key documents needed 24 hours prior to the funding. No need to overnight us a complete package. We also offer same day funding requests at no additional charge.
The amount of the line requested is determined by the performance of the company. We do require a minimum audited net worth of $250,000.
The funding percentage on each 'A' loan is up to 100% of the loan amount. There is no 'haircut' in these instances.
There are no set net worth ratio's to establish the warehouse line amount.
This is a non-directed line, which means you do not have to sell the loans to one investor. You can sell them to any one of the investors on our approved investor list."
Benefits and Advantages
Establishes a reputation for your company with consumers, builders, brokers and real estate agents to close and fund loans in your own name. We fund within 24 hours of request and in most cases, funds can be sent the same day of receipt of your information. This method of funding helps keep both your customers and agents content by paying for the entire transaction at the closing.Correspondent and wholesale lenders typically pay more for closed loans as well as charging you less fees. The fees brokers can earn are limited. This method of funding increases profitability by utilizing available Warehouse Lines to fund your current production into the secondary market.No more need for the Disclosure of Service Release Premiums on the HUD-1 Settlement statement as required by RESPA. Since you are closing the loan in your own name, your company is exempted from RESPA to disclose the SRP's, unlike table funded transactions.Your company gets to earn the interest of the note rate during the warehouse period, which makes up for most or all of the interest that you are paying for the facility.Your company gets to control the entire settlement and funding date of the loan closing. This eliminates the worry of promised wires from your table funding lenders, which rarely arrive on time.Enables your company to grow at a faster pace. Growth is limited without the use of a warehouse line.

Benefits: State Agency License Exemption Confirmation Request Letters give notice to the state that you will be doing business in their state and requests confirmation on state agency letterhead that you are not required to obtain a mortage license in their state. Normal response is about 60-75%. This alternative is much cheaper than confirmation via an Opinion of Counsel in each state that could cost as much as $3000 each. Written confirmation on State Letterhead is very valuable to present to Lenders as evidence that a license is not required.TD> |
Lender regulations changing for US
In recent years, more states have implemented
loan-officer-licensing legislation in an effort to protect borrowers from abuse by predatory lenders and officers. Although only three states required loan-officer licenses just three years ago, 31 states now have license or registration regulations on the books.
Despite the increased legislation, noncompliance
is rampant. Many mortgage companies are ignoring the laws. Some are openly defying them, funneling all loan officers’ loans through the company’s one licensed loan officer.
The goal of state legislators and predatory-lending groups is to hold loan officers and lenders
responsible for predatory-lending behavior. State-agency enforcement departments are issuing
cease-and-desist orders, revoking licenses and levying fines in an effort to promote compliance
with these laws.
Ultimately, mortgage companies are responsible for getting all their loan officers registered or licensed. The best way to stay in compliance is to file for loan-officer registration
or licenses for each loan officer who brokers or makes mortgage loans in the one of the 31 states. The other option: Risk violations for failure to supervise the licensing of your loan officers.

It stores all rate sheets as executable algorithms that take into account everything on a rate sheet - matrices, adjustments, notes, limits, states, fixed/ARM products, exceptions for jumbo loans and 100+ LTVs
It completely reproduces the entire rate determination procedure as performed by lender's underwriters, with almost identical results
It selects the right rate sheets for the target state, documentation set, and loan type (ARM of FIXED)
It uses standard credit report eligibility criteria to determine the rates, such as FICO scores, bankruptcy/foreclosure, late payments, etc.; as well as basic loan parameters, such as loan type / purpose / amount, LTV, DTI, etc.
It also automatically discovers dozens of tiny details that affect the rate for each loan product in each case; for example occupancy, seasoning, various property types, loan size, cash out, etc.
It provides the ability fine-tune the rate and commissions by using such terms as prepayment penalty, lock period, and buy up/buy down
It enables the comparison of various loan programs for the most optimal rate/terms/commissions ratio
For ARM loans, it gives the ability to select the loan with the best margins, indices, and caps, in addition to the initial fixed loan conditions
It does all of the above in real time, so now Loan Officers can qualify the borrower and submit to processing during ONE phone call! "

By utilizing Lender Online, Sollen's benchmark product, the lender is able to present fully adjusted products and rates to the originator. From there the originator has the capability of selecting a product and requesting a lock online. The lock request is then communicated back to the lender for acceptance. This enables the lender to present its entire portfolio of products with the most profitable pricing available to the originator all in a real-time, automated manner.
The pricing automation model enables lenders to automatically aggregate their investors' pricing through our web-based best-execution technology. The resulting rates can then be utlized by our RateSheet Generator to build a fully customized rate sheet. The rate sheets can then be distributed electronically via e-mail to originators at a fraction of the cost.

Become a Lender - Help - Prosper
This company has an interesting thought process on where to sell their loans after funding. They keep the servicing (.5%), but they sell the loans to buyers on a bidding process. It reminds me of an online bidding/auction atmosphere. You can loan up to $25000 increments, but you cannot exceed a $2 million dollar total. They range the borrowers into different risk groups to help determine how much you want to bid.
As a lender, it is your responsibility to follow some basic lending guidelines when making decisions about whom to lend your money to:
Diversify: If you place many small bids among many borrowers, the risk that you will lose all of your money on one borrower is much lower than if you place one large bid with one borrower. Prosper makes diversification easy by allowing you to create "standing orders." Standing orders place bids on your behalf based on the criteria you've selected so you don't have to search for borrowers and place all the bids manually, one at a time. Learn more about standing orders.
Know the risks and bid accordingly: On all of the bidding pages, you will be shown the historical default rate of borrowers on whom you are about to place your bid, and you should factor that into your bid. For example, if you are placing bids on C-rated borrowers whose default rate is typically 3%, and you want to make a net rate of return of 6%, you should consider placing your bid at 9.5% interest (including Prosper's 0.5% annual servicing fee). You should also view the marketplace performance page to see performance, delinquency, and default data on Prosper loans.
Know your groups: Finding a dependable group can result in dramatically lower default rates. If you find a group that you have high confidence in, lending to individuals in that group should bring you a higher return. Why? Because lending to individuals in good groups should typically bring a lower rate of default
