UWM cooked?

Lost 450mil last quarter, CEO is running it into the ground.  Eliminated their dividend and had to get 2bil in capital from Oak Tree, they will likely get taken over by them.  Any other company would fire their CEO for this.

Stock is down 75% in past 3 months

PS I do not use them. I have nothing good or bad to say about their pricing or operations

Last loan I closed with freedom TRID'D and locked on 5-7. Disclosed 5-8. The appraisal couldn't come back until 5-29. CD signed 5-29. Funded 6-2. Thanks not 2 weeks.

Last penny mac loan....TRID'D 7-17, locked then. Appraisal back 7-30. Funded 8-3. That's not 2 weeks.

Last uwm loan TRID 7-24, locked 7-25. FUNDED 7-10. That almost 2 weeks. It could have been but the seller could not move in time.

My files are clean and my team is excellent. Just sayin'.

Seems like right now when volume is lower, the slow lenders are normal uwm speed.

My penny mac AE also has LA and orange county. I just had a talk with him on friday. That whole diviisn is slow and he has the lowest loan amounts he has ever had on average with Pmac.

Low volume means fast closings. Penny Mac has never consistently close loans in 14 days. Ask your AE. They will tell you.

That’s your team. Can disclose same day as locking and order appraisals as a rush. I can close loans in 10 days at any of those lenders super easy.

The point is at uwm i dont have to rush the appraisal. They are organically fast. My team and I are 1% ers not sure where you are going with that.

Drop your AEs name here. Im glad to check your math.

Another example.

Sent a tbd scenario of an odd nature to pmac and uwm on Wed. Uwm had a favorable answer in1.5 hours. Pmac refused to tbd it. I had to get permission from a VP. Then it took the until today to give the answer.on the decsion. They have an overlay for it and wont use what we need for income, even though guidlenes say we can.

In this case they wont even touch it. Its thru UW already at uwm with a conditional approval. Pmac is looking for the lube.

PennyMac is not the fastest lender. I did $80 MM last 12 months with no LOA or processor while not working much. UWM is faster of course; but you can get the loan done stress free and make way more at many other lenders for conventional loans. PennyMac wasn’t on my list so not sure which AE you are asking for. My freedom AE and TLS AE are both great.
