Was wondering what the latest feeling is on which lenders are best and worst to work with…txs
I think we would all like to see that list but it may depend on the person and the deal.
I’d like to see that too…
Right now I have a ton of Wells Fargo deals. I have found them very easy to work with. I like Chase also. If you ever get a MorEquity deal, they try and act like tough guys but their payoff letter is great. All they care about is the net. You can pad all kinds of seller paids and fees for yourself and they don’t care. You can have an FHA and just invoice the HUD for your fees.
I hate and will never work Bank of America. Saxon is a pain also.
Here is the list of lenders I have done short sales with and how I would rate them from a 1-10 10 being the best. (NONE WILL GET A 10) Keep in mind this list has been around awhile and some of the lenders are now gone!
