No worries. Any ideas on whether a broker is better than a bank?

I do not know...I was in a thread the other day where a poster raved about a broker though.

I think I would use a broker though. A broker can look at your reports and guide you in what you might need to clean up to get the best rates without the actual lender seeing them and he would know which lender he could get the best rate from. They don't get paid if you do not close so he has a vested interest in securing the loan for you.
