Vetting a Lender. How do you do it?
11 February 2024 | 5 replies
Are you looking for lowest payment possible and maybe an interest only or variable rate (but that has higher risk).Once you define what it is you need, then you should start speaking with lenders and ask them what types of products they have for what it is you need.If it is a traditional lender and they are licensed through the nmls (google nmls consumer access to find them), then that means they have been vetted.Note that most lenders DO NOT keep their loans and they get sold, so age of company is usually not important, experience of originator would be more priority for me

So, all in all, it is very similar to what yours would be with an ADU, and that one is getting a total of $5,300/mth for both units (keep in mind that house's 3rd bedroom or office potential).Looking at Pasadena's STR rules, it appears the property has to be a "primary residence" of the host, defined as where they reside at least 9 months per year.
