Fees
Monthly insurances (Errors & Omissions, liability, worker’s compensation) are provided at wholesale rates obtained by the bank. As an example, a 4 person office would cost approximately $80-90 per month, a 5-9 person office would cost approximately $130-140 per month, and a 10+ person office would cost approximately $200-225 per month.
Third-party payroll services are provided at cost, which by way of example would cost approximately $65 per pay period for a 4-person office.
There are no monthly accounting fees, no state licensing fees, no continuing education costs, and no monthly minimum fees due to the bank.
Commissions & Revenues
100% is credited (front & back & fees) on loans that are banked.
Banked loans include $750 of pass-through (to customer on HUD-1) fees including: flood certs, doc review, underwriting, tax service, etc.
Brokered loans pay 3/8 of a point maximum to the bank, which declines at increased volume levels. For example, after $1.5 million the bps. fee drops to 32, and after $2.5 million the bps. fee drops to 29. The brokered loan fee to the bank is capped at $1,250 per loan.
Accounting
The bank has a 72 hour (maximum) turn around for check requests.
Normal payroll is twice per month, and disbursements of net income earned by the affiliate net mortgage branch also are paid twice a month.
Regular branch expenses are paid by full-time, professional, corporate accountants, who maintain your books, cut your checks, and provide to you a monthly summary statement. All of this is free of charge as there are no monthly accounting fees.
