WaMu just announced that they're tightening up the guidelines even more. As if it wasn't hard enough to do business today and get a loan, they've change the majority of their "stated" core products to require both 720 FICO score AND 50% Loan To Value max. That means: 50% DOWN PAYMENT. So, what WaMu is saying this week: We don't want any business. Any lender can cherry pick at Full Doc conforming loan....they're a dime a dozen. WaMu, like other lenders, is effectively pulling out of wholesale lending. That's one broker's opinion. I'm usually right. Where will you go for your next loan?
