Difference in Freddie Mac SBL direct lenders

[James Kojo]

For those of you who use agency debt, I'd like to get your opinion. Are are FMAC Small Balance Loan lenders roughly the same?

So, there are only 11 qualified loan originators for SBL. Do you like to work directly with one of them, or do you prefer to go through a broker?

I've met some quality folks here on BP that work for one of the 11. I've also met some quality loan-brokers who seem to know how to navigate all of the subtitles of MFR. I'd be interested in hearing about actual experience.

Thanks!
