Origination fee and processing fee
I am new to really being able to analyzing different loan products and finding the best lender but this lender was recommended from other investors and property managers. I am under contract on a 3 flat and the loan was sent for review and to sign today
25% down, 30 year fixed conventional, Loan amount $341,250
Rate: US treasury 5yr +3.2% margin so right now its 7.35% but can increase as the fed continues to increase until loan is fully approved
Pre payment penalty: 5% penalty at year 1 dropping 1% a year for 5 years can pay down 20% principal per year without penalty
Origination fee: 1.5%
Process fee $1500
Those are the big numbers but the origination fee seems a bit high especially when there is also a processing fee which my understanding of an origination fee is to cover the work of the lender.
I'd appreciate any thoughts. I will go back to the lender I had for my first closing this past month and see if they have a license in my state to see if I can pull a quick quote from them.
