As the borrower, you have the control. You have the ability to determine who does your mortgage and what your mortgage does for you. It is just another financial instrument in the world of capitalism that plays by a fixed set of rules that are put in place to protect you, the borrower. There are three factors that determine what you are able to do and that is credit, income and debt. For more information, visit the CFBP.
