If you are still are of the opinion that you should only apply through a mortgage company like Mortgage Affiliates if you can't get a mortgage through a bank, you are really behind the times. Not too many years ago, mortgage companies definitely dealt with only those borrowers who were not capable of obtaining more conventional financing. Times have changed dramatically. Generally speaking, most mortgage companies will offer better rates on conventional fixed rate mortgages up to $207,400 (as of January 1996) written for a period of 15 and 30 years. As mortgage companies are not regulated as banks and Savings and Loan companies, you will find that they are more creative, offer more programs, and work hard to see that your loan closes. The extra effort assures a payday as they generally only get paid if your loan closes.
