Mortgage and Real Estate Insights

BC mortgage brokers are not all the same. As a BC mortgage broker and a writer, the author has a deep insight into the BC mortgage market. Check out his BC mortgage rates at his blog.

This book isn’t a manifesto promoting the practice of flipping houses. In fact, if you don’t have the determination and the work ethic necessary to become a weekend warrior, I strongly encourage you to reconsider. Keep your day job, buy an affordable house, and spend quality time with your family.
Flipping houses is hard, agonizing, and often aggravating work.

Unlike what other books, TV shows, and late-night-TV gurus may tell you, this book takes an honest look at the practice of flipping houses. I lead you through a process of self-evaluation so you can determine whether you have the right mindset and resources to buy, renovate, and sell houses. I show you how to project your profit before you even make an offer on a property. And I reveal how much cash you can expect to keep after paying taxes on your profit.

In this book, I reveal what I’ve learned in more than 30 years of flipping houses and working with buyers, sellers, and other real estate professionals.
I show you how to do everything from securing the cash you need to finance your venture to finding undervalued homes and negotiating the price and terms that improve your chances of selling at a profit. I guide you through making renovation decisions that promise to deliver the most bang for your buck, and I show you how to spruce up a home to draw in more buyers.

All mortgage loans involve the risk of possible financial loss to a mortgage lender, investor, or insurer. Depending on its circumstances, a single mortgage application may undergo four separate underwriting reviews at various stages by the following parties:

Lender: The loan officer and/or processor review the application to determine whether it warrants full processing or an immediate credit decision. Automated underwriting may be used at this stage.

Lender: After processing, the underwriter analyzes the application to determine whether to lend funds and under what conditions.

Insurer/Guarantor: Before closing, a mortgage insurer or guarantor determines whether the submitted application is eligible for mortgage insurance or a guarantee.

Investor: Before or after closing, a permanent investor determines whether the mortgage or mortgages as submitted will be purchased and at what price.

Each underwriter analyzes the loan package, estimates the risk to its organization, and determines whether the benefits are sufficient to balance the risk.

No regulations require a residential mortgage lender to make a particular loan, nor do any provide specific underwriting guidelines. Regulations do make it clear, however, that mortgage lenders have a responsibility to attempt to satisfy any request for a mortgage loan, as long as the risk is analyzed fully and deemed acceptable. The desire to make loans must be balanced by a mortgage lender’s fiduciary responsibility to protect whoever funds the loan: depositors, shareholders, or secondary market investors.

All lenders, of course, share the danger that even properly underwritten mortgages may become delinquent. The expense incurred in collecting these funds, or the losses suffered if uncollected, greatly exceed the income generated from originating and servicing the loan-that is how costly the collection process is. If several defaults occur, the costs of either curing the defaults or foreclosing could result in severe losses to the point where it jeopardizes the solvency of the lender.

Mortgage brokers and mortgage bankers have a unique problem. Unlike depositbased mortgage lenders, mortgage brokers and mortgage bankers underwrite a loan knowing that the loan must be sold to a permanent investor. If a poorly processed or poorly underwritten loan is not secondary marketable at a reasonable price, it may result in considerable loss to a mortgage banker or broker. Since a deposit-based mortgage lender has the option of placing a mortgage into its own portfolio (instead of selling it to an investor), its loss potential for a poorly processed/underwritten mortgage is less than that of a mortgage banker
