Although BOA and chase have increased my lines upward of where they were prior to the melt down but still not to what they were......I get the offers constantly from chase and BOA with 1% and 3% fees.I also have used this method and put the money into cds that were yielding ~ 3.5 to 4,5% back 4 or 5 yrs ago.

I thought it help that instead of tracking down several links, it would be nice to access it in one location.These are the sites I use frequently (as well as my appraisal district and county courthouse site)•http://www.zillow.com/ •http://ww1.realtor.com/ •http://www.eppraisal.com/ •http://hotpads.com/ •http://www.trulia.com •http://www.homes.com/ •http://homes.yahoo.com/ •http://www.realtytrac.com/home/ • http://www.movoto.com/• http://www.weichert.com/• http://www.sawbuck.com/•http://www.loopnet.com/ (MOSTLY COMMERCIAL)•http://t.co/vDb0ACVo - (BOA - MUST CHOOSE PERTINENT COMPS ONCE LISTED - 3-6MOs, SQ FT, BED & DATHS, ETC...)• http://t.co/AlAXxcWq - (QUICK ANALYSIS - EREAL INVESTOR)•http://www.rentometer.com/ - (RENT COMPs)BIG HENRYI APOLOGIZE - NOW I HAVE CLICKABLE LINKs

@Marquell JonesPortfolio lenders are simply lenders who make loans out of their own "portfolio" which means that they do not sell the loan to a big bank (Wells Fargo, BoA, etc.)

I hope anyone receiving BOA approvals will chime in.

other than BOA, which lenders do you stay away from?

Since BOA purchased CW, they are now using this same restriction.

When I told them I had sent it and it must have gotten lost in the mail, they said no problem, no late fee and I had them withdraw from my account... light years from the lack of customer service at any big institutional bank like BoA or Wells!

I use BOA which is a big bank. 

I put an offer on it a couple of weeks ago, they want best and highest, then BoA went under contract with someone else.A week later the property came back on the market and the description has the added verbage:BUYERS MUST TAKE EXCEPTION TO TITLE & ASSUME ALL FINES, LIENS, VIOLATIONS, ETCTurned out the property has a bunch of utility liens, $45 here, $120 there, nothing too alarming.Then there is an outstanding code enforcement lien from the City of Hollywood.Description = MINIMUM PROPERTY STANDARDS GROUP FOR RESIDENTIALStatus = OpenDaily Amount = $350Accr.

They offered to let me pay for a lower rate, but I was pretty happy with the rate.I went with BoA.
