to local lenders. There are several that provide loan volume which exceeds
national commercial banks.

fees and loan servicing fees. However, many mortgage companies choose not
to service the loans they originate. Instead, they sell the mortgages
after they are closed and funded, making a service-released premium on the
mortgage. The loans are sold into the secondary market to investors that
earn revenue for the servicing of the loan for the life of the loan.

advised to contact their state's banking or financial department for a
complete list of mortgage bankers authorized to originate loans in their
area. While a federal bank operates under federal law, many state banking
laws offer consumers additional rights in terms of consumer protection.
