@Stephen Brown Seriously not worth chasing this deal; using basic software tools or even a trip to the records office can give you an idea of what the balance is.

The term "positive factors" is very gray so youll want to make sure that the loan officer you are working with gets this signed off on before giving the preapproval.

Is it ethical for my Realtor to ask me what the rate quote was that I received from my loan officer, and share it with her preferred lender, who is also preparing a quote for me? 

"I just bought a house from a Real Estate agent friend... they said rental comps in the area were very high, and they had a pm friend in their office..."

The mortgage will of course be based on the purchase price and interest rates and a loan officer should be able to give you very close numbers.Vacancy, repairs, capex, etc. is usually a percentage of the rent for most people.

It's been 10 years since I was a loan officer and I'm not sure how the banks would view this. 

Asked the officer how it happened.
