That being said, survey results indicate that a significant number of institutions have complied but also expanded their consumer lending staff and hope to gain a larger market share. Here are a comments gathered through the survey. (System Survey [12])

After years of service in the U.S. Army with the 75th Ranger Regiment I have taken my energy and focus and applied it to the mortgage industry. I have a desire to help Veterans and all people alike achieve their dream of home ownership. By taking a somewhat military approach to the industry of how something can be accomplished as opposed to why something can’t be done; this allows me to help the greatest number of people.
A second mortgage loan officer, Sarah Harris, agreed to a $450,000 mortgage for a 20-year period at 8% interest rate after appraisal based on an income approach using 10.9% capitalization rate. Although not certain of her judgment, she considered Alexander’s projected figures realistic, but required him to personally sign the note as additional protection to the bank against loss.
As competition increased between savings and loans, banks, and credit unions, banks were eager to attract loan applicants in order to increase revenue and compete with other financial institutions. Jack S. Light, the author of Increasing Competition between Financial Institutions, said in his book that “commercial banks are diversifying their assets toward higher percentages of mortgages and consumer loans, and thrift institutions are seeking authority to diversify their loan structures. Moreover, mounting pressures are working toward, and have partially succeeded in, changing the authority of thrifts to include third-party payment accounts similar to commercial bank demand deposits.” (Light) Because of this eagerness to bring in new clients, they were willing to give out loans without checking into the financial stability of the borrower or the business that was requesting the loan. Unfortunately since the banks didn 't look into their clients’ financials adequately, many clients defaulted on their loans because they could not afford the payments, especially when balloon payments started.
Online chat sessions with one of our representatives can allow for customer service over the Internet. Another idea to enhance customer service is implementing a customer feedback section. By allowing honest and public feedback from current customers, potential customers can see if McBride is right for them. This feedback can include a star rating system for particular loans. This will give current customers a chance to grade their service and mortgage with a rating from one star, being low, to five stars, being the highest rating. This information can be helpful, grouped with application or education information.
Our application is online. This means that you won’t spend a long time waiting in a lobby somewhere, waiting for a loan officer to contact you. We only need a bit of information to get you started.

The implementation of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) regulations has removed a lot of the abuse that helped spur the housing crisis of 2006. With increased oversight and regulation, borrowers can now safely navigate sub-prime lending options which usually come at a higher cost than traditional mortgages. Typically these options are available to borrowers that have a large down payment, or equity position, which gives the investor more security in their investment. These loans may also come with higher interest rates and additional origination charges or “points.”
Despite these efforts, the Compliance program’s administration has continued to displayed deficiencies. This is evident by the violations noted at this examination, and the inadequate implementation of effective corrective actions related to MOU provisions and prior examination and audits findings, and recommendations. Turnover at the Compliance Officer position and ineffective Board and senior management oversight contributed to administration deficiencies. Due to inconsistent oversight of the Compliance program, adequate training, sufficient procedures, as well as effective monitoring have not been effectively implemented in areas where deficiencies are identified though audits and examinations. As illustrated by the examination findings,

The homeowners of Westlake Village Condominiums recently voted to finance an estimated 6.4 million dollar association loan that will fund renovations of the building, and ensure that its codes are up to date. Because the HOA does not have the money to pay for the building's enhancements, homeowners will be responsible for funding this association loan by taking out their own loans, which could be demanded as soon as September 1st. These loans will be repaid monthly through the homeowners association, which is the driving force behind the renovation project. Only one bank – yet to be revealed – has expressed interest in financing the project, at an interest rate above 6%.

Originating those loans was strictly to make money no matter what the cost, if they had to fix the paper work or lie that is what they did. Countrywide had a quarterly quota to meet, and almost every loan that was written not only benefited Countrywide it also benefited the company writing it, because they also received a fee for processing the loan.
