Now you have no excuse for sending your comments to HUD.  Be specific and give them your opion on the new GFE..It is 4 pages and if you are a broker you have to lump sum all your fees and then credit it back to the borrower.A mortgage banker does not have to disclose their SRP.  Same old stuff.  ...
