Mortgage lenders and brokers have had a difficult time working California leads because so many homeowners are under-water.  Top loan originator Beau Hollingsworth who works for iServe Lending, a direct mortgage lender who is headquarters reside in San Diego California, said, “I have been originating home loans in California for over a decade now and I have never seen so many good borrowers under-water with their mortgage.”  Hollingsworth continued, “We have access to government programs like the Home Affordable Refinance Program, but so many homeowners do not meet all of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac’s guidelines.”  The experienced mortgage executive said that she likes working with California mortgage leads, because she really feels for the West Coast borrowers and she well-versed on the state real estate laws, in addition to the licensing she has obtained. 

Rumor has it that HUD is rolling out the FHA short refinance program nationally and this may really help loan companies originating in California because so many loan applicants are coming up short on home value that is preventing them from qualifying for traditional home refinance programs.
