There is no way to determine how much a broker/lender earns because as the other poster has indicated, there are several ways for a lender to earn his/her livelihood...Junk fees, YSP and SRP are just a few ways lenders generate income per loan...Further complicating this issue is the current disclosure laws in place; brokers are required to disclose YSP, while lenders do not have to. 4.5% is ridiculous regardless of loan size; I bet your current broker loves you!
