You generally get a little better rate because they have a bigger pool of money to draw from, but if you don't fit inside the box exactly they can't resell it, so they won't do the loan.That's why one of the first questions I ask myself when dealing with lenders is, do I think this one will "fit in the box" or not - I want the best rate of course, but I also don't want to waste my or the loan officer's time if I know it's probably not going to work from the get-go.
