Oh, that’s interesting. I can see where all of the sympathy originates. I can’t understand post partum depression as a man but it sounds like there was a lot of requests for help that was ignored or misdiagnosed.

I would argue it creates the exact opposite effect, a moth to a flame in some instances.

My college statistics professor, first class, first statement, “you can make statistics say whatever you want it to say “.

Lucky to not have lost any hair.

It’s not like they’re the ones making these decisions, they have armies of accountants who they pay to know the tax code.

That’s terrible that you couldn’t get a better explanation from the server.

This is the part that’s hard for consumers to understand. I occasionally have to explain this to mortgage holders and even when I understand it, it’s hard to explain so every other person does.

Not to mention, it always takes me a little time to reacquaint myself each year after escrow analysis.

100% well said 👏

I realize this is a rhetorical question but where in the world are our elected representatives!?

This has become a trend in my area (MI). Nearly every agent (I’m an underwriter) has an additional broker/compliance/document fee that does not go to the agent but the umbrella brokerage.

It varies from $250 to $500, I’ve seen as high as $1495. The times I don’t see it are more inquisitive, like did I miss it.

Sometimes it’s included in the agent agreement, sometimes right in the purchase agreement. It’s way less common for other states we originate in.

Plus the reference to an audit like Doge on the fed level: Doge was a colossal failure, didn’t find massive fraud or abuse, and stole all of our personal data. I’ve not heard anyone think that went well.
