Which is better? Mortgage from a bank or Independent Mortgage Co
I am about to purchase my private residence. I have been working with a mortgage broker from a bank but I am looking to get the best loan package possible.
Is it better to go directly to a bank for a mortgage, or go to one of these private businesses/mortgage companies that operate in strip malls or individual offices.
Basically my question is this, if I go to the bank, am I going directly to the source so I can get a better loan package, or is it better to go to one of these independent mortgage companies?
Thank you so much
