  The reason things are slow in AZ
  JMO... Arizona recently passed Mortgage Fraud Legislation. The unscrupulous LO and sub prime lenders are staying away from the AZ market.  The mail used to be flooded with ads from mtg lenders and daily phone calls. But, that has all but stopped since June.  http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/local/articles/0612mortgage-fraud0612.html

  New Legislation in Ohio too.
  It has definitely had an impact here.

  I see that Ameriquest has  been sanctioned
  for charging excessive loan fees, unfair loan practices, not advising customers of true loan terms, etc, etc. A lot of people will be getting refunds. The sub prime market has really taken a dive!

  That explain why I have three title co. all of the sudden dropped their fee in the last couple months. One company told me that the "new" fee they recently filed with the state.
