Ditech.com Launches $49 Flat Fee for Home Equity Loans
- First of its Kind -
COSTA MESA, Calif., Feb. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Ditech.com, a direct mortgage
lender, today announced the $49 Flat Fee home equity loan. Ditech.com, a
leader of flat fee closing cost packages for home purchases and refinancing, is
the first mortgage lender to extend the concept to home equity loans with the
$49 Flat Fee. The $49 Flat Fee home equity loan allows consumers to quickly
and easily borrow up to 100% of the equity they have built in their homes.
"The tremendous success of our $395 Flat Fee mortgage product for refinancing
and home purchase has proved that there is a strong appetite for guaranteed
closing cost products. That's why we've extended the Flat Fee concept to home
equity loans with our $49 Flat Fee, allowing the consumer to have greater
certainty at the closing table while leveraging the equity in their homes that
they have worked so hard to build," said Mike McCarthy, general manager,
ditech.com. "As consumers are increasingly looking to access the equity in
their homes, ditech.com has made the process simple and affordable, allowing
homeowner's to access capital for any needs they may have."
The $49 Flat Fee product allows borrowers to come to the closing table
prepared, knowing the closing cost on their loan in advance. The average
closing costs for other ditech.com home equity loans is approximately $444.81.
According to Bankrate.com, home equity loan originations climbed 35% in 2004 to
$431.3 billion. Ditech.com's product is designed to meet this growing demand
amongst homeowners for a simpler way to leverage their home equity. Common uses
of home equity include consolidating debt, funding education, and making home
improvements, all at a lower interest rate than is available with credit cards
or other unsecured debt.
The $49 Flat Fee home equity product applies to home equity loans and
owner-occupied single family residential properties. The $49 charge is
assessed to cover the cost of the title search. The borrower is responsible
for mortgage tax, appraisal fees that exceed $300, new loan interest costs,
outstanding property liens, property taxes, property insurance, association
fees, seller fees if any, optional owner's title insurance, and certifications.
