Here is another good example. A name brand mortgage lender offers 6% interest rate in a 25 year mortgage, while a no name mortgage lender offers 5% interest rate in a 25 year mortgage. Looks like an easy decision. However, the no name mortgage lender charges loan processing fee, underwriting fee, document preparation fee, and closing fee. So, the no name mortgage lender may not be a good decision after all.
