2) What is the difference between subprime vs non-traditional mortgage?
3)"A paper" vs subprime?
4)Retail vs wholesale mortgage?
Answer: Thank you for visiting Bills.com. Here are an answers to your mortgage questions!
1. Vintage basis typically refers to the year in which a mortgage loan was originated.
2. Subprime (also known as "non-prime" or "BandC") refers to loans for borrowers who have had blemishes on their credit in the past. "A paper" is another name for a prime loan, and very broadyly refers to borrowers with higher FICO scores. Subprime loans will carry a higher interest rate than a prime loan. The best thing to do is to apply with several lenders and see what rate you are quoted for each product. Be sure to compare
"apples-to-apples" as there are many different types and options when it comes to home loans.
3. Think of retail as the point of sale, and wholesale as the middleman. Retail actually refers to the broker (or the person who originates your loan) and Wholesale is the lender who actually funds your loan.
