In this article we’ll look at the individual income and expenses involved with running a P&L mortgage branch. This will help you understand all the revenue and costs involved. In the MortgageRight model you see ALL the revenue which includes: 

• Total Sale Income – total BPS margin earned based on the rate you lock
• Origination & Closing Fees – Any fees charged upfront like origination or discount points

Our model is designed to give you access to the maximum BPS available so you can have the extra capital to scale your business. No gimmicks or gotchas, tiered pay or bonus caps, it’s just a straight deal. You will also see all the expenses involved with your individual mortgage branch based on what type of mortgage branch you run. 

Some expenses will not apply with our model like a back-end scoop or success fee many mortgage branch platforms charge (this can be as high as 125 bps in some cases!) although it will not apply with us it’s good to be aware of these expenses when comparing models. One of the main benefits of the MortgageRight mortgage branching model is you can pay ALL your expenses pre-tax right from your P & L. By structuring an upfront model like this you end of up keeping more BPS giving you the extra capital you need to reinvest back into your mortgage branch to grow. 

Advertising

The costs of advertising can include:

• Print media, including newspapers and magazines 
• Radio, including podcasts 
• Television, including cable television and streaming services 
• Internet—costs include buying banner ads on websites, paying for keywords that appear with searches related to your business 
• Social media—the cost of social media varies widely based on what platforms you use most frequently and how many people see each post; however, the average cost is approximately $25 per day spent maintaining your presence across Twitter/Facebook/Instagram/etc., etc., etc.). It’s also important to consider how often new content must be created for these platforms in order as well as what payment methods will work best for each platform!

Appraisal Fee

The appraisal fee is the fee paid to a lender to determine the value of a property. The costs vary depending on the loan amount and can range anywhere from $375-$650+. This fee is usually paid by the borrower but can sometimes come out of the total loan amount.

Credit Reports

Credit reports are fee for the ability to check a person’s credit history. These reports can be used to check the credit history of a potential employee, customer or partner. A good credit report will show that you have been paying your bills on time and do not have any debts outstanding. A bad credit report will show that you have had trouble with your finances in the past and may struggle to keep up with payments as they come due in future. This cost is $25 – $50

Consumers should always ensure that they request access to their own personal information before deciding whether or not they wish for it to be shared with third parties such as employers or landlords.

Early Payoff Chargebacks

Chargebacks are fees charged to the lender if a loan is paid off or sold before 6 payments are made. These fees can be avoided by a client not paying off a loan early (within 6 payments of funding) and keeping your account open for as long as possible. If you do have a chargeback, it will usually be calculated as the commission you earned on the loan. This can be avoided by making sure you client plan to stay in the home at least 6 months after closing.

Employee Benefits

Employee benefits are another cost for any business, and they can be a tax advantage for employees.

Employee benefits include health insurance, 401k, disability insurance, life insurance and other insurances.

Employee benefits are considered a tax-advantaged way of paying your employees’ wages. The employee may receive a benefit that is not taxable as income but would be included in the employee’s gross pay if paid as cash. That is because the employer has already paid income taxes on this money before paying it out to the employee in some form (through salary). This means that it’s possible for an employer to pay an employee more than he or she would earn on paper without having the government take their share of taxes from those earnings – making them even more valuable than they seem at first glance!

Insurance

In the case of insurance, it’s important to know what you or your company covers when it comes to health, vision, and dental insurance. This will depend on your setup and how many employees you have at your branch The good news it’s all paid pre-tax. The Company offers a full suite of medical, dental and vision benefits through United Heath Care.
