PRICING

1. What is the cutoff time for registering/locking loans?

Pricing is normally posted around 10:00am CST and is valid until 6:30am CST the following business day, unless there is a mid-day price change.  In the case of a mid-day change, the new prices will be in effect until 6:30am CST the next business day.


2. When do closed loan packages need to be delivered?

The loan must be closed/disbursed and delivered to us on or prior to the lock expiration date; otherwise, you will be required to relock at worse-case.


3. What is your extension policy?

To request an extension, correspondents can e-mail secondary@1amllc.com, providing loan number, borrower name and number of days required.  Or, they can also complete the Rate Re-Lock / Extension Form and fax it to us.  Extension requests must be received prior to 4:30pm CST of the lock expiration date.  A loan can be extended multiple times, but the aggregate number of days allowed on extensions is 60 days.  Please refer to the Rate Re-Lock / Extension Form for specifics on extension costs.


4. What is your relock policy?

Relocks are “worst-case” pricing and must be done after the lock expires.  A relock can be for 10 or 30 days. Correspondents must complete the Rate Re-Lock / Extension Form and fax it to us prior to 4:30pm CST in order to calculate the relock price that day.  Requests received after 4:30pm CST will have the price calculated using the next day’s pricing.


5. Is off sheet pricing available?

Correspondents can complete and fax the Rate/Price Quote Request Form for off sheet pricing.  Requests must be received by 4:30pm CST to correspond to that day’s pricing.  Requests received after 4:30pm CST will be considered in relation to the upcoming price sheet on the following business day.


6. What is your recapture policy?

The price over par is due back to 1st Advantage whenever a loan pays in full in 120 or fewer days from the date that we purchased the file.  This repayment is applicable regardless of the reason for payoff.


7. Do you offer extended locks?

Programs on Page 1 of our rate sheet are eligible with a $1000 upfront fee.  Soft locks are available from 90 to 360 days with a one-time float down option.  Hard locks are available from 120 to 210 days.  Please refer to Page 1 of the rate sheet for further details.
