Comments And Other Musings On The Mortgage Industry And Other Subjects

One question that I receive frequently these days is, "How's business?" The questioner is often surprised when I answer, "Great!" Most of the news is gloom and doom these days and it is true that over 260 lending institutions and private mortgage insurance companies have gone bankrupt. But there are still loans to be done and I feel that due to some of the choices we have made in the past few years Tippecanoe Mortgage has weathered the storm quite well. I like to think that a big part of our business has to do with the fact that a large percentage is comprised of repeat clients and referrals. I have always made it a priority to try and stay in touch with those we have assisted (newsletters such as this being one method) to let you all know what is happening in the markets. But one thing I pride myself on and try to instill in all the people who work for our company is that I believe if possible, everyone who wants to have their dream of home ownership realized should have the opportunity to make that happen. We have frequent instances in which we can obtain a loan for a client that other lenders have turned down. It's not that we have special programs that others don't but we do have tenacity. We have the ability to turn credit and employment inside out to see if a loan is possible. If we believe it is, we just don't give up. We know our programs and our investors about as well as anyone can, which means knowing the strengths and weaknesses of each. Every investor is different and we have tried to assemble a group that offers variety so if one doesn't work another will. I am proud to say that I have been able to assemble a team of loan originators who are excellent at analyzing a situation to see if a loan is possible (Be sure to read the comments of two of them in this publication). If we can't do a loan today we will try to give our clients the information that they can use to make them "Mortgage Ready" in the next few months to a year. I often tell people that it isn't always about the best rate (though we try to do that too) it is about common sense and a program that meets the client's needs. I am a lifelong resident of Lafayette. My business will be here when others pull out. It isn't just about making a quick buck when times are good. I care about the community and the people in it and will always endeavor to do the best job I can for those who come to Tippecanoe Mortgage for financing.
