Wholesale rate loans?

What are they? How do they compare with "regular" loans? A house I had been eyeing for a while just came back on the market because the escrow did not get funded. How do loans and their rates/fees really work? Please guide me in the right direction. I am really overwhelmingly lost when it comes to loans and funding. Thanks. I have a friend offer me wholesale rates, but I'm not really sure how that differs from other types of loans and their fees.I'm looking for your average 30 year mortgage by the way. by raykh_181_166 from San Francisco, California.

Thank you for your question. I would love to provide you with some guidance and assist you through th exciting process of purchasing a new home. "Wholesale" rate would be described in it's simplest form as the rates offer through a mortgage broker vs going directly to the lending bank. In theory (key word theory) the lending banks offer the customer directly one rate and offer the broker community a reduced rate. The reduction is rate is a result of what is concered a reduced cost to originate the loan, and the amount of large number of total loans provided via this channel. But things don't always work this way.....So at the end of the day what is important is thar your are getting the best loan to meet your unique borrowering profile, and personal goals. The best way to ensure this is to work with a professional whom can present you with many different loan options and lending programs, allowing you to compare all on a level playing field ("apples to apples"). I am absolutely able and willing to assist you in obtaining a pre-approval and answering any questions you have now and throughout the entire process.

wholesale loan rates are rates provided to mortgage brokers to use in order to then add their profit margin ( normally called a loan origination fee ) to and then to quote to the consumer ....a borrower is not able to obtain a loan using the wholesale loan fees ( unless they find a loan officer thats OK making ) profit ........the wholesale rate sheets are much more confusing now than ever as there are normally several different models ( lender paid comp and borrower paid comp ) that are outlined ...plus there are alos tonds of footnotes about pricing add ons to consider .....fyi- best thing to do is to get a referal or two for a good local Loan officer and get soem quotes and also to get pre approved
