He went over all my household financials and told me i scored, but my significant other would not be able to be on the loan. He recommend that I take money from my significant other and deposit it into the bank ASAP as it's a 60 day look back period. I took 45 Benjamins to the bank and deposited it. Do not deposit cash into your account. The look back perod is 2 bank cycles. A gift letter can be written for a check, Not cash. I found this out later... Sam issued me a pre-approval letter and told me to let him know when I found a house. When we started house hunting, I asked to submit my Financials to thier underwriting department. He said he would ( he had my Financials for 8 weeks so far ). I called two days later and he still hadn't sent them over. I then went on Lending Tree, put in my phone number and met George Nguyen with New American Funding, my second opinion. Four days later I found a house I wanted to put in an offer on. I texted Sam with Guaranteed Rate as he requested, the address and the amount. Nothing. I texted George with New American Funding and we closed 30 days later. Andy, Sam's boss called and apologized. Sam and Guarenteed Rate are a preferred partner because he's buddy with one of our executives. Sam never followed through with my loan.

Boy was I wrong, Owning honored its commitment, very unusual in this day and age. Frankly my wife Kathryn and I can't say enough about Julie pang. And OWNING.

I reached out to Sam and he took a call with me the same day and answered my questions to the point where it seemed to make sense for me to refinance. The process for submitting all documents was pretty painless and probably only took me an hour or less. Each member of his team had their part to do for different phases of the refi, and if ever something got confusing he would step right in via email or over the phone if required to provide clarity to me. In the end the process took just over 30 days (it would have been less if my current lender had been more responsive; not Sam's fault), and I'm saving hundreds of dollars a month with very little effort on my part. I would definitely work with Sam and his team again in the future and recommend him to anyone looking to buy or refinance.

He is a very abusive, strangled his girlfriend in NC when she was 3/4 weeks pregnant, he attended to kidnap their son before he had established paternity on numerous occasions and when she tried to address this to him he'd threaten her, he lives in a condo near Lake M. That is all paid for by mommy and daddy. His dad passed last summer, they were not close, but his dad was worth a lot and Let's call him Raymond, Raymond told (let's call the girlfriend Tinker Bella) Tinker that he hides money, moves money fir his parents, well since his dad passed let's just say Raymond had a ton of money he's moving but not once did he ever provide any support fir his sin out of being vindictive to his ex! He is a very entitled dangerous person! Who lied and knowing his ex had recently been told she needed a biopsy done, he was evil, cold selfish and only thought about himself. She had to get emergency surgery and while she was under he lied his a** off to steal the 14 month old who is a complete stranger. And he's completely traumatized the child.
