Why are the number of fees for a loan growing?

[James McGovern]

Looking for a loan and am curious if all lenders have resorted to creating a laundry list of fees. Some of what I am seeing are:

- Legal Fees

- Underwriting Fees

- Corelogix and other data fees

What's next - Fees for if you are an American living in America? First Born Fees, The Fee Fee, etc.

All of the fees are increasing the amount of money a flipper has to bring to the closing table and aren't helpful.

Quote from @James McGovern:

Would love to find a list of 65% LTV max mom and pop hard money lender in my area. Got suggestions?

 No one is going to hand you a list. You will need to network in the area, go to events, and meet ups. Or just work with a mortgage broker in the area
