When refinancing with a lender whether or not you use a mortgage broker, you should have all information about the proposed loan disclosed to you in writing in advance of signing or paying for anything. Compare apples to apples by comparing loans with the same term, and amount. Look at the interest rate, whether or not there is a penalty if you prepay, and be sure that your are comparing a fixed interest against a fixed interest rate, or an adjustable rate to an adjustable rate mortgage. Do not confuse the two and become educate before you sign, not when it time to make a payment! Its pretty much like buying a car, in that you can almost always make a better deal once you understand the process and find the least greedy sales person.

AnswerOk so I have some lenders I work with who are banks with names you would recognize and then I have a group of lenders we call "SubPrime" and Alt-A.

Here is the inside "skinny" Bank Lenders are usually A paper (not Alt-A) lenders. You usually have to have a loan that is fully documented( all your income, verify everything, bank statements most like not go outside the lines or have anything unusual with your loan Most will not consider your loan if your FICO score is under 640 or you have a debt to income ratio that is over 50% (I am being generiuos with this ) Mortgage Brokers are a better bet because they shop your loan and get your the best rate. Brokers have access to banks you will have access to your have ever heard of so sometimes this is a good way to go.
