The people who left the reviews in this section are more than likely
caught in the scheme to exploit VA loan programs and defraud veteran homeowners.

Those that posted the reviews above now hold a false perception of this company. The exploitation of a ‘streamlined’ process meant to assist veterans with easily lowering their monthly mortgage payments helped to portray this perception. It brought these unsuspecting homeowners into a devious plot that has possibly been in the works since the previous financial crisis. positive Online reviews will probably not be updated when these homeowners encounter the latter part of the meticulously concocted scheme that overwhelming evidence shows has primarily targeted veterans and their families. The scheme is aided and contingent on multiple false perceptions or slight, almost imperceptible, cues meant to steer their victims into a methodical process with various elements working in concert to likely achieve the original objective. AN OUTCOME THAT YEARS OF PLANNING AND years of focused company initiatives WILL likely secure. A strategy meant to further concentrate wealth by relying on common understandings of many, the ignorance of others, and the apathetic nature of some. the ‘victims’ above have already been set onto a path that will likely bear a close resemblance to the experience detailed in the review below.

LOAN CRITERIA
Loan limits: The refinanced loan cannot exceed the existing VA loan plus any financed funding fee.
Loan-to-value limits: There are no LTV limits set by VA. The new loan amount may be more than the limits established by the secondary market. It is the lender’s responsibility to ensure it has a marketable loan.
Adjustable-rate mortgages: Existing VA ARM loans may be refinanced into a fixed rate, hybrid ARM, or traditional ARM, but it must bear a lower interest rate than the loan it is refinancing, unless the loan it is refinancing is an ARM.
Down payment sources: No down payment is required; however, an IRRRL may be done with “no money out of pocket” by including all costs in the new loan.
Homeownership counseling: Homeownership counseling is not required.
Mortgage insurance: Mortgage insurance is not required.
Debt-to-income ratio: No credit review is performed.
Temporary interest rate buy downs: Generally not allowed since the purpose is to lower the interest rate.
Refinance: The borrower may not receive any cash from the loan proceeds for an IRRRL unless it is for the purpose of making energy efficiency improvements.
Interest rates and loan terms: Terms are set by the lender.
Funding fee: The funding fee for an IRRRL is 0.5 percent of the loan’s value, or 1 percent for an unaffixed manufactured home. Funding fees may be financed or paid in cash.
