All Loan Originators will be paid on the HUD per written agreement made with the client. Realtors and other service professionals will be paid for services rendered (i.e. BPO, Inspection, Consulting) per written agreement made with the client and/or EquityMax.
In all cases, we will need a copy of the borrower’s three-score credit report as well as the executed contract for all purchase loans. All Loan Originators must submit an LO and client-executed 1003 as well.
