Isn't it likely though that the 2007 defaults maybe even higher because of the fact that there are fewer sub prime options for that borrower today to refinance into?]]> Sun, 27 Apr 2008 08:58:02 -0400

Until 2005, that amount could be partially refunded to the borrower if the loan was paid off or refinanced. Today a client only gets his partial refund if he refinances the loan (and pays the new amount of UFMIP) into another FHA loan. This doesn't even address the .5% of the loan amount that is collected annually in the borrower's monthly payment. Has anyone seen an estimate of estimated revenue for FHA?]]> Thu, 17 Apr 2008 18:19:56 -0400 UFMIP) of 1.5% of the loan amount that goes immediately into the US Treasury.

@Dectra - You completely missed the point of the Zillow product. Zillow will not give provide your info to the lenders like Lending Tree does now. It sounds like you had a good experience with LT but they do provide all of your info (income, contact info, etc) to the lenders.

Good luck to Zillow, I am sure it will be successful for them.]]> Thu, 03 Apr 2008 12:38:00 -0400
