California AB 764 & SB 94 pass іn thе California legislature οn Monday October 12, 2009. Whаt ԁοеѕ thіѕ mean? Both attorneys аnԁ loan modification companies іn California аrе now prohibited frοm collecting up-front fees fοr loan modifications.
Whаt ԁοеѕ thіѕ mean?
California loan modification attorneys аnԁ California loan modification companies саn nο longer collect up-front fees. Now California loan mod experts саn οnƖу collect money аt thе еnԁ οf thе transaction.
Cаn Anу Business Survive without a Regular Source οf Income?

Agreed! The real problem is first and foremost Big Banks like BofA, Chase, Citi, Wells and the others have long wanted us mortgage brokers “out of the picture”. Loan mod fees aren’t the only concern – they keep trimming how Much we can earn And now in 2010 the Yield Spread Premiums will be structured in such a manner that will cause the borrowers great confusion!
HVCC was Also Lobbied for by the Big Banks! Look how well that’s working out – having to order appraisals thru AMC’s. And stats show appraisal fraud is Up 46% this year! Go figure………..
AB 764 and SB 94, while not actually saying we could no longer operate legititmate loan modification divisions of our brokerages, have pretty much sided with the BofA’s and Citi’s, in putting the brakes on anyone sane still doing loan mod’s. And that benefits Big Banker! They’re already overwhelmed under an avalanche of mod requests they cannot handle.
This gives them a reprieve from Actually having to do too many New requests coming in from uneducated ill-equipped mom & pop home owner. When they send mom & pop that initial boiler-plate Turn Down Denial letter, the majority of home owners will go, Oh darn, guess we gotta move honey……………….
and the banks are done with the processing, clean and simple. And now that home prices have leveled off and going back up, they’ve factored that in too – less loss at REO sale.
Interesting too how Chase is Now hiring New L.O.’s to come work for them? Pay ex-mortgage shop owners a paltry base plus $300 per funded deal?? Chase and the others under this new model will Clean Up with Earnings on new mortgage loans written in the coming years!!!!
Old saying; Those with the Gold Make the Rules! Don’t doubt it for 1 second.
How do we begin to guess what the housing market will do? No offense, but everybody was wrong about it just a fewyears ago, so why do we think it will get better in the future? Just because housing is better priced and mortgage rates are lower? Unemployment is still a serious problem. Not to mention, the debt the US seems to accumulate every day. I personally think renting is the best option right now.
