Bottom line

LoanDepot is best for you if you need to close your loan quickly, if you are interested in an adjustable-rate mortgage, and if you are buying a new home. The answer to the question of whether you should apply for a loan with LoanDepot will depend on your financial situation and the type of loan that you need. The lender offers a broad range of mortgage products and you can choose what suits you best. If you have a good credit score, you can get lower interest rates. Unfortunately, fees can be quite high. Either way, if you do decide to work with this company, we recommend that you compare offers from other lenders.

We purchased a home through Loan depot. The whole process was very simple and their staff was helpful. They locked my rate at 3.7 when another lender wanted to lock me at 4.7! The approval and funding process was easy. I would use them in the future and recommend to my friends!!
