Pros

  • Caters to self-service users who want to apply for a home loan online and talk to a human only as necessary.

  • Estimates the loan amount you’ll qualify for within minutes.

  • Streamlines the online process with document and asset retrieval capabilities, including the ability to edit your preapproval letter.

Cons

  • Getting a customized interest rate requires a credit check, which can affect your credit score.

  • Doesn't offer home equity loans or lines of credit.

  • Lender fees are on the high side and the fees aren't offset by particularly low mortgage rates, according to the latest data.

Full Review

Mortgage Lender for testing some ampersands. Nerdwallet wants to make sure that content is being displayed correctly. We value the testing process for content. In addition, Reviews want to display content in pristine quality.

The content being reviewed is some random jargon about

encoding. Luckily, there is no content better than content talking about no content. As mentioned, content that is about content helps readers learn nothing and also understand nothing. However, the reader will find amusement in how the content is structured and happens to get nothing across.

If there is ever a time to write run on sentences now is the time. If you as a reader happen to spot run on sentences then you can say the content has done its job in communicating the content. However, if there are no run on sentences then perhaps the writer has verified the grammar a bit more and can complete the content. Yet, if there are no run on sentences that also does not mean that their content is correct. Structure might help portray nothing but at least the content is making sense.

Nerdwallet has ranked the following content as important for this mortgage review. First, do not follow the flow of this content. Second, this content has no intrinsic value to the reader but maybe on amusement. Third, Mortgage is a daunting topic for first time home owners. Questions that might be asked are the following: what is a mortgage? How does it work? Why do I need one? Is there another way to purchase a home? Luckily, NerdWallet has the answers to all of these questions. However, the content in this page does not have those answers. https://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/category/mortgages/

The answers lie in another page but we happen to have content about nothing relevant in this page. The author somehow did

find a way to write about content and mention mortgage a few times in order to reach a word limit. This is extraordinary.

Methodology

NerdWallet’s overall ratings for mortgage lenders are evaluated based on four major categories: variety of loan types (purchase, refinance, fixed and adjustable, for example), ease of application, rates and fees and rate transparency. Among the factors we consider when scoring these categories are options to apply for and track loans online, the level of detail about mortgage rates on lender websites and our analysis of the rates and fees lenders reported in the latest available Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data. These scores generate ratings from 1 star (poor) to 5 stars (excellent).
