Very clear and helpful : thanks! I'm woeking extra to keep my ROI flowing into my mortgage payment. it's the last piece of debt i have and i'm a bit overeager to see it gone. Any index fund or stock tips to help that get done?
It’s a good time to buy in on the market, so seize the opportunity to purchase stocks on sales.
my portfolio is down over 23% j and It’s been that way fsince 2022 and I really could use professional help, I’m close to retirement. have you worked with an asset manager before and could recommend any?
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?.
Google Sonya Lee Mitchell and do your own research. She has portfolio management down to a science
Thanks for sharing, I just looked her up on the web and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing. I will write her an e-mail shortly.
If you are reading this I hope you become debt free and successful and live a long happy life 😊
Flint The Dad - thank you, you as well. Have a happy holiday
Almost there! $7400 left!
Same to you sir.
Thank you sir. Merry Christmas

Why doesn’t he answer the question from a consumer perspective? The securitization of these loans is interesting but doesn’t matter to me. What’s the difference between me going with a bank vs a mortgage broker? This answer feels very “safe” and not really helpful in deciding which to go with.
Win Lee I agree with you. I really feel the question wasn’t really answered.
Well in the beginning he did say there's almost no difference. Then continued to explain the few difference
@@dandycandy1983 clearly he saying the bank the best. But not with Bank of America with Credit Union
@OG I’ll have to go back and watch again.
Mortgage companies charge higher loan fees to process a mortgage loan. Banks charge lower loan costs to obtain a mortgage loan.
i work as an underwriter at a bank that originates and buys lots of home loans. great segment!
Wow! I'm so happy Dave put out this information. Very helpful for my situation.
I just wanted to say Thank You Dave for all the free knowledge you offer. I appreciate all your wise words🙏
Easy! Both! Whoever gives you better terms and closing cost. Have them battle it out for your business.

@@jaybartgis5148well they want our money so yes they will have to compete with eachother
I'm more interested in having an efficient lender win me the house I love, FAR above cost. Too many people lose the property they want, because shopping around for the lowest rates & fees we're prioitized. Rather than considering the experience & effectiveness & knowing that they have the option to refinance ☝🏽
I just noticed Dave has 3800 videos on his channel.. Amazing! So much awesome material to consume. Thanks, Dave!
All freeeeee
All pretty much repeating the same content 🤣
You know Dave, sometimes a lesson like this is spot on. Not so much a guidance video, but an informative dive into a specific topic of interest.
Some points of curiosity from myself and im sure many others
What should someone with 3 years of debt free investing exerience be looking for to make informed decisions regarding index funds, Individual stocks, mutual funds? Anything you feel we should know about anything?
Anything youd like to tell us about determining which type of investing is best for people who are fairly mobile? A move can be expected every 4-6 years? Maybe for people whos goals arent to own a house?
Dave just explained The Big Short. Great movie.
Thank you very much so much for this video. It was very instructive.
This's great I love it wonderful tip.
Great question. I never would have thought of it this way, but it makes sense.
Very informative. Thanks for the lesson Dave 👍
For everyday people, I d say go for both, negotiate and see who gives you the best. It is more about talking to the right person rather than whether it is a bank or broker. Broker say they help you shop around but how do you know they gave you the best? Shop yourself! Bank you have an overall relationship with and you may be benefited from holistic perspective. For everyday people who cares about how the loan is managed at the back ?!
Videos are helpful.thank you

2013 buyer right here. I was 23 at the time but thanks to my mom she's a realtor and stir me in the right direction.
Good for you. When my wife and I got married (2010), I told her that we needed to buy a house before either of us turned 30. We did, in 2012. The way I see it, following a 30 year amortization schedule (even if we move), we'll have a house paid off by the time we're 60. No mortgage payment or rent payment. That's our best shot at a good retirement. You'll be in an even better position.
Young people (under 35) act like home ownership and retirement are out of reach and that they're only for the wealthy. But really, a mortgage payment is cheaper than a monthly rent payment.
My moms a Real Estate Broker in NYC. I’m going into the mortgage origination business thanks to her showing me how powerful that business is.

Eduardo Ramirez depending where you live
So which is better to use? I used a local mortgage company for my fha loan, and they turned around and sold it to Wells Fargo. Did i pay more going through a mortgage company, essentially a middle man, than i would have paid if i went straight to Wells Fargo?
Very good 3xplqnation. Thank you
Dave is incorrect about why the smaller loans don't work.
You can get an appraisal waiver on a comforting conventional mortgage when there is substantial equity.
The reason you take small loans to a credit union is that it is almost impossible to write a conforming loan under 40kish. Guidelines are written on percentages, for example fees deemed APR items can't exceed 3% of the loan. Not all fees are percentages though. The closer may charge a flat $1,000 as a closing fee. That's no big deal on 200k, but on 50k it's 2/3 of the fees allowed by guidelines, leaving the lender to cover all their employees and expenses plus profit in $500.
SIR, I HAVE GREAT RESPECT FOR YOUR INFORMATION AND EDUCATION YOU GIVE VIEWERS. MY QUESTION TO YOU IS CAN YOU EXPOUND ON MORTGAGE LENDERS WHO FAIL TO HONOR VETERANS TAX EXEMPTIONS AND END UP OVERCHARGING VETERANS FOR PROPERTY TAXES THEIR EXEMPT FROM HAVING TO PAY? Please help with this subject and let us know what to do in the event this occurs with a mortgage lender.
Great video. Consider lowering the gain on your mic. Thank's for taking the time to make this video too!
Mortgage broker will likely get you the best deal, and is the way to go. Just today, we closed on our next property, and we're very happy with a fixed 3.45% apr. Our rental has only a small amount left on its mortgage, and then that cash flow goes entirely to our current mortgage.
People, please pay off your debts ASAP and allow all your hard work to invest in yourselves. Find fulfillment in things not requiring excess consumption. Our one "vice" is international travel, but even that is largely paid by credit card travel miles. Our CCs are essentially conduits for racking up points, and paid off every month.
Anyway, life gets so much better once financial stressors are out of the picture. Good luck!!!
Good answer. If you don't go through a broker, you have to do the shopping around for the best rate. A broker will charge for their service, I think about 1% of value of loan, which can be worth it to find the best rate and the best combination of loan features and reputation of the lending agency (i.e., you can often get a good rate through an online lender but they are slower to close. A mortgage broker can help inform your decision on which to prioritize)
APR or interest rate?
@@ModMINI so 1% includes all the fee and there cut or just the mortgage brokers cut. By fees I mean appraisal fees etc?
@@eduardo9163 A mortgage broker charges 1% of the loan value. There is typically no other fee by the mortgage broker. There will still be lots of other fees by other parties involved in the transaction. Your mortgage broker can be a good information source to determine the total cost. Also remember that most of these are financeable (can be added to the borrowed value rather than being payable out of pocket).
@@ModMINI just talked to one okay so we owe 262,000 going to refinance and take out 38,000 he said after the loan will be 325,000. So good or bad. Apr 3.3%
Yeah, so your loan could end up with BOA anyway! mortgage brokers, sale mortgages. That’s how they make money. Most Banks sale mortgages also. They just keep the servicing of the loan. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae own the majority of mortgages.
Great information
A video entitled "Should You Get A Mortgage From A Bank Or A Mortgage Broker?" that did not answer that question in any way, shape or form. Thanks Dave.
Wich one is better
A broker has more options and lenders for you. The bank has a much more restrictive lending window they work within
For all the folks shopping for a mortgage, Dave was using some heavy jargon.
Bottom line: you should look for a broker that can shop the loan for you and has very minimal closing costs. It’s inconvenient to work with a bank or broker that skyrockets closing costs. Overhead fees are something to be aware of.
Wholesale mortgage brokers have the best rates and closing costs around, While correspondents and retailers have higher closing costs, along with mediocre rates.
Thank you
Who do you recommend?

@@MaVoelk Yea that's true, def agree it was slow but with a great people experience
Very slow and nearly impossible to get a hold of the person working your loan
How did you get to be so smart and knowledgeable Dave
Trial-and-error
If all the numbers are pretty close ...
GO with the one, you can go see eye to eye
( as opposed to cyberspace / foreign country answering the phone )
I’m avoiding large banks like Bank of America, at all costs. Rather go with a small company, buy below my max amount so I can pay it off faster.
Don’t forget to also check the taxes as well. Some cheap houses have high taxes.
That’s all good, however the chances of that mortgage being sold to a large corporate lender is high in the first few years.
Jersey nurse
Please do the work sheet on your loan amount and write down the interest costs added up of a 15 yr fix, Compared to a 30 yr fix. You will an amazed at the savings if you do a 15 yr instead.
taxes are usually based on the assessed value of the house.. so "cheap houses have high taxes" doesn't make sense.
Different tax rates in different localities, i.e. counties. A $200,000 house in different parts of metro can vary wildly on property tax rates.
Chris Vandernaald You really should do your research. The taxes can be more than the mortgage principal and interest.
Super misleading video title.
so what is the answer?
@@sunu44 Title is just wrong. A mortgage broker is someone who shops around various lenders and tries to get you the best deal for your mortgage. A bank could be one of those lenders the broker checks with. There are also standalone mortgage lenders who are not banks but only deal with mortgages. A more accurate title wouldve been Should You Get A Mortgage From A Bank Or A Mortgage Lender?
Church Hilo mortgage sounds awesome!
Wow actually learned a lot.
Mortgage broker operates off commission so they will be quick, responsive, and go out of their way during the pre-sale period, including answering and making changes during non-daytime and weekends. They usually give you their direct cell number that they have tethered to them to test it out. This is extremely important in the heated battles of real estate today where closing dates will be enforced. Traditional bank loan officers typically are much harder to interact with since they only operate during business hours, within times of their choosing. Not at all unheard of for a bank loan officer to lapse on actions for a week or more just because they didn't feel like it. They won't care about negative comments either.
u don’t know what ur talking about
@@spclagent7 Bank loan officer detected

Saving up for a house hopefully pay it in cash but if not gonna go through Church Hill!
I've worked for a decade for both a big bank and a mortgage company over the years. A mortgage company or broker is a better bet- just like Dave advocates for Zander vs. State Farm because they can shop around to get you the best deal, a mortgage company can do the same rather than just taking whatever pricing Chase etc is offering that day. And especially if you're self-employed or have a more complex income or asset situation, it's going to be much more difficult to work with a bank.
Can u recommend a mortgage company to get a home loan?
That’s why you shop with multiple banks to see which one gets you the best rates!
Love what you're doing for the Velocity Banking Community. Keep it up!
Here in the UK interest rates are as low as 1.3%. Even lower with 40% deposits. The banks are at war.
That may have more to do with negative interest rates created by the EUropean Central Banks policies.

@@Mindova Dave's advice is good but not gospel. *_Do what works for you!_* We are avoiding big banks because we only need about 70k mortgage. But im sure a credit union can loan you more than that if you need. Just be reasonable: expect 300k NOT 2M dollars. You get where im coming from?

Oh my God I was falling asleep through that I hope it went through already
And I was supposed to understand that? Which one do you recommend?
Don't forget you can negotiate with a mortgage broker. Find one that is willing to do a borrower paid points and have him do your loan for a flat fee, pay him out of pocket. You will get a much better rate, if a mortgage broker yelled you you don't have to pay anything for your loan, that is not true. Nothing free in this world, someone always has to pay for something. I have purchased numerous homes and and on average I saved .25 on my rate. I do keep all of my real estate. So if you are not planning on being there for a while maybe not worth it. I have a house and 10 rental properties. I'm my case it makes sense.
Finally something different
So is it stricter guidlines to get approved by a bank?
Would it be smarter for me to try the small credid union loan on a 100k house that i can buy for 27k or get as much as the place appraised for and use the extra to flip another one ? Btw this will be my first loan my cs is 680-720
A mortgage broker makes a percentage off your loan but they can find the best deal for you and your specific needs
Is mortgage broker same as loan officer?

@@AnnyBAdventures
Make an excel budget sheet calculating your income and expenses. The expense will include the future mortgage payment and then you will get a better picture on what you can afford so you don't end up foreclosing.
I always make a budget sheet for my real estate clients so they don't do something stupid and over spend. Banks also do something similar to see what you can afford but you can never trust a bank.
They handed out loans like candy in 2004-2008 and everyone ended up foreclosing.

Thank you so much, I'm literally doing what you said. I'm buying a 240,000 house and I got around 180,000 I'm just gonna ask the bank for a 60,000 loan and take it like a car payment which i don't have.
"Some" of the appraisers... 🤔🤔🤔
I always think it's funny when the examples are $200,000 homes. I live in California, I need California examples because $200,000 is a double wide trailer out here. Great info though and very educational!
California is a big state, look up houses in Victorville, Indio or Lakeport. Not every part of CA is super expensive
I agree! I live in SF Bay Area and $200K is a trailer home here. I hate when this guy assumes everyone lives in Texas or something. Paying off the mortgage isn’t as easy when your home is over $500K for a 3 bedroom/2 bath and you can’t just move away to a cheaper place because your job is HERE! I like some of his advice but he makes things sound so easy or black and white, when it’s not. I guess if I were a millionaire with top selling books and plenty of money in the bank, things would be easier. 🙄
Well majority of the world…200k is good…It always, Cali, NY, folks complaining about everything…will y’all move already…you choose to live there knowing the rest of the world is cheaper…so I hope you are rich
is there a drawback to a conforming loan being sold?an advantage of getting a non conforming one? Will your interest change?
A conforming loan is easier to securitize (easier for the issuing bank to resell), so all other things being equal, they should be more hungry for your businesss and be able to offer a lower interest rate., free points or something like that.
Wow, well explained. You can be a teacher/professor. Thank you very much.
Dude I might get a mortgage places around where I live charge roughly &500 to $600 to find a decent 1 bedroom apartment ! So it’s at this point cheaper to get a mortgage and at least have something that could make me money later !

So who should I use?
Did I hear Countrywide Home Loans? This video was released in 2019?

Bro is spitting out complex jargon. I couldnt stick for more than a minute
It makes perfect sense to me. I work as a mortgage loan originator tho.
I would really like to buy a home. I pay $1200 for rent and due to a child custody agreement, I have to stay in a certain area which limits my options. Should I continue to rent or just buy a home?
Depends if mortgages in your custody limited range are cheaper or on par. You will find a lot of different answers based on opinion but there is nothing like having the security of knowing you are investing in something instead of burning cash on renting. If you can realistically afford it, I would say to seriously consider buying. If you want to move instead of settle due to current custody restrictions then it might be better for your mental health to hold out and continue saving, such as pay off car debt or anything big in meantime to mitigate monthly liabilities. Good luck, I wish I could tell you a cut and dry answer but you just have to weight your realistic financial goals with a bit of peace of mind.
Hi Myla what did u decide to do?
Wow.
This is partially wrong information. Payments are collected not by the company that owns the loan, but by a separate company that they contract with for a year to collect payments for you. Owner of the loan can collect payments themselves or sell the right to collect payments for a 0.5% fee for a year to a separate company called the mortgage servicer.
If you can't put 20% down on a mortgage, don't do it - default insurance will go hand and hand with the loan for the life, unless you refi and pay loan ordination fees again. You'll burn a couple years of time and money in these fees....
The thing with default insurance is if you don't pay the lender gets paid, the place is sold to someone else that will make payments and pay interest, and you're still on the hook for the balance of a property that has been sold again and interest paid.
The bank actually wants to foreclosure to happen, so they get paid many times over....
Real estate is freedom, but you have to not get hit coming ashore on the beach, because they are there, loaded, and ready for you from the high ground.
I disagree. The amount of money you can put down has very little to do with the amount you can pay every month. You need to figure out how long it would take you to SAVE up to that 20% mark while paying rent somewhere else. If the mortgage payment is lower than the rent, it doesn't make sense to live in a rental property and gain no equity.
For example, if you're looking at a 100k house and you can put 10k down, talk to a lender and find out how much your monthly payment would be. Then shop for rental properties. The mortgage payment might be $700 per month. The rental property might be $900 per month. To save up another 10k, you would have to rent for 5 years at $900 per month while ALSO banking another $170 every month to save up another $10k AND you'll be 5 years behind on building equity in a house. Instead, you could 5 years into your home loan, paying $700 a month in mortgage and banking $370 every month.
If the monthly mortgage payment is less than the cost of renting an apartment or small house, default insurance doesn't matter.
I generally agree with this. Mortgage insurance has not benefit to the borrower and can be up to 1% of the loan value per year. If you have a $300k mortgage, it's like flushing $1.5-3k down the toilet every year for 30 years.
@@stevee8318, you can drop the PMI as soon as you hit 20% equity. You should definitely not pay it for 30 years. I was given the option to pay a single premium PMI. the house I bought was 122,500. I put 12,500 down. The PMI was 2,600. I paid it and never dealt with it again.
@Allen Reynolds, nonsense. I have a 4 bedroom, 2 bath house with 1700 square feet and a two car garage in a nice suburb. My mortgage, including tax and insurance is 850 a month. Water's about 30. Electric varies from 45 to 160, depending on season. Gas varies from 35 to 110, depending on season. Sewer and trash is 35. So every month, it's around 1100, tops. Where can you find a 4 bedroom apartment for that?
@Allen Reynolds
Pay rent for 15 years and you get nothing. Pay a mortgage for 15 years and you get a $250,000 asset.

When you can, Does Dave say to escrow a mortgage payment or pay a mortgage payment yourself?
I think you might be a little confused. You can’t escrow a mortgage payment. Escrow is for taxes and hazard ins.
You can escrow those INTO your mortgage payment so the bank that holds your mortgage is responsible for paying your monthly hazard ins and taxes, however you are still responsible for making your mortgage payments.
I dont know what Dave’s opinion is on this, but as someone who’s been in the mort industry for 10yrs I would say it’s personal choice. I have my taxes and ins escrowed into my mort payment and I love it. Though once my house is paid off the responsibilty of making tax and ins payments is back on me.
Also, only conventional loans give you the option to escrow or not. If you do a govt loan (fha, va...) then you have no choice, the taxes and ins are automatically escrowed into your mort payment.
@@mon8087 Thanks!
If possible you should get a loan without escrow, as when you pay into escrow that money just sits there until the end of the year when the mortgage company pays your taxes and renews your insurance policy. You're basically giving them an interest free loan.
@@stevee8318 Thanks. Deciding to go this no escro route. Plus as Monica Wroblicky stated, no more escro account after a paid off house. Might as well learn the habit of paying it myself now.
@@mon8087 The default option for most people is to escrow taxes and insurance into your loan payment. You can choose to pay these separately but due to the increased risk of a payment default, most banks charge higher rate for the privilege.

If they buy and sell loans why is so difficult to get one?
Just closed on a house 2 months ago and we pitted 5 banks against each other and got down to a 3.35% APR on a 750k mortgage (1m total home price). Mortgage broker couldn't get close. Granted this is a nonconforming loan in my area, but it is always worth it to contact at least 3 brokers and a couple of banks as well.
Don't always assume a bank is going to be higher/slower than a mortgage broker. You just need to be upfront and honest with each person you speak with be it a mortgage broker or a bank employee. Let them know your timeline and make sure they can meet that timeline. We ultimately went with a big bank because they got us the lowest rate AND could meet a 21 day close which many of the brokers we called said would be pushing it for them.
Did you get pre-approved before submitting the offer to the seller??
This is great advice, thank you. Shopping around for the lowest interest rate is worth the effort!
Patrick yes we were preapproved but I’m a turn of events we actually were preapproved with a bank we didn’t end up choosing. We got preapproved then after the offer was accepted started really searching for the best rate.
Puckett's Full of Sunshine definitely worth the effort!!
How long was your process say from the moment of your pre approval to searching for a home to the closing date ,beginning to end??
