We are looking to refinance our mortgage. We had a bad experience with a mortgage broker the first time around. Aside from the BBB, are there any websites where I can find others’ opinions/experiences with mortgage companies?

Having received some offers already, there are a few which look too good to be true. The majority of the offers so far are at the same, somewhat higher rate (which seems to be the normal rate for our area). I just want to do some background research on the few companies that are offering the lower rates before we accept one of them.

Thanks!

I heard that mortgage brokers drive Porches and make tons of money. By and large, how much does the average mortgage broker make?

I have an interest only mortgage with my mortgage lender but I would now like to let my house out.

I have been advised that if I let my house out I am obliged to let my mortgage provider know.

I don’t know what the repercussions of this would be if I did or didn’t tell them. How would they find out if I just let it out anyway? What would they do if they ever found out? If I meet their mortgage repayments they shouldn’t have a problem, should they?

Can anyone enlighten me on these matters?

We have been pre-approved by a mortgage company. The mortgage company has recommended a real estate agent. I am a little leary of going with this real estate agent, however, because, being a first time home buyer, I need a lot of guidance. I am afraid that, being tied to the mortgage broker, the real estate agent might not fight to get us the best mortgage deal (if it happens to be with a company other than the original mortgage broker’s).

How do you go about getting a good mortgage deal?

My mom and sister are both named on the mortgage. Payments are still being made. My mom just passed and my sister does not have a job because she was caring for our ailing mother.

For example if my 1st mortgage is $1000 per month and i charge a rental income of $1000 per month, is it a wash? Or do i get the $1000 rental income added to my gross monthly income and have the $1000 mortgage payment added to my monthly liabilities?
