Conventional loans are assumed to be 20% downpayment and either fixed/adjustable rate. FHA loans start at 3.5%
downpayment and are targeted towards first time homebuyers who will be owner-occupants. USDA loans target
agrarian uses such as farms. VA loans are available to members of the military. FHA, USDA and VA loans are
typically subsidized by the government so as to have more favorable terms for the borrower.

Home purchase and refinance loans are typically offered by even the most prudent banks. Cash out refi
loans typically carry higher fees-- they allow homeowners to get loans against the equity (appreciated value)
of their home, but can be used irresponsibly. Lendors with a high ratio of cash out refi loans may be
exposed in the event of an economic downturn, and may be more aggressive with their fee schedules.

Different banks have different objectives. Some banks focus solely on high net worth individuals. Others
focus on FHA loans for lower income applicants. Knowing what a bank specializes in allows better
optimization given the applicant's financial situation.

LTV, or loan-to-value, is the amount loaned relative to a home's value. Lower LTV lending implies a
larger downpayment-- reducing risk to the lendor. FHA loans will nearly always have a higher LTV due
to the lower downpayment requirements. Higher LTVs may also mean a bank is charging higher fees or
interest rates to compensate for their risk exposure.

Approval Rates
Total approvals of all applications
97.64%
A high approval rate means banks are more selective in who they market to or that they are loosey-goosey
with who they lend to. Low approval rates may mean a lendor is more stringent in their lending standards.
Pick Rate
Approvals leading to origination
65.98%
A bank's pick rate is how often they are chosen by an applicant once approved. A high pick rate typically
means the bank has some sort of advantage-- either the best terms (rates/fees), fastest closing time or
even the best customer service. Banks with <75% pick rate may need further investigation as to why
they are not more competitive.

Banks make money on their float/interest spread (fees charged to borrowers vs fees they pay for their capital),
for servicing loans, as well as charging origination fees when a loan is disbursed. Modern low-cost
efficient lendors can have fees totaling less than $500 for many mortgages-- as low as $250 in some cases.
Average lendors will be in the $1k-2k range and high cost lendors will be even more. The costs incurred
by the bank will be similar no matter the loan amount, so this is to be viewed as a profit center for
most banks.
