any simple alternate solutions you can think of?

The question would be the sustainability of the overall economy and job market.

Honestly I would choose a mortgage broker and let me explain you why.When you go to a bank or credit union the loan offer works for that institution and will offer you the rate they company offer, instead if you work with mortgage broker we have the ability to shop with over 100 and more institutions and shop for the best rates available, fast closing and customizable solutions, text me so i can give you my rates base on your credit score.

Outside of my insights from data, there are a few things I'd like to pop in here to hopefully take this conversation in a direction that helps us all learn from this and grow in our businesses together, elevate the industry together, find a path to co-exist where each business contributes to the overall industry growth... challenges the other to innovate and create fresh new solutions for customers to win big... and leads towards our industry getting stronger not weaker.
