I just closed a BOA deal a week and 1/2 ago and it was a normal approval; with no resell for 30 days.

I never even had a mortgage with them and when I moved to Maryland 12 years ago, I ended my personal banking relationship with them all together (closed my account and went with BoA up here). 

Every short sale I've done where the seller got relocation cash it came from the bank's end (generally I've seen BoA do this).

Olá @António Ferrão boa tarde. 

It may cost, but keep in mind, it is also an opportunity for them to be exposed to a national crowd.Bring in some asset managers, WF, BOA, etc.

If I put my money in BOA, they use my money to make the loan anyway, so why should they get the monopoly of being able to use my money?

@Bo A VaneckoCould be interesting.

I would call them first.I did two loans with BOA last year.

Thanks Tracey,I also went ahead and google it and this is what I found.http://thephoenixagents.com/why-does-the-bank-want-the-first-5-digits-of-my-social-security-number/http://activerain.com/blogsview/1950779/buying-a-boa-short-sale-if-so-be-prepared-to-give-first-born-

The loan being insured by FHA is not so readily available since the Lender of record is a common Lender such as BOA, Wells, Citi, etc.
