Does the Internet Robot Understand your Needs? Any of the below questions can dramatically effect the type of loan that is best for you. 

What are you goals? 
How long to you plan on staying in the home? 
What are your future earnings going to look like? (Will they go up, Down, Remain the Same) 
Are you self employed? 
Do you work on commissions? 
Do you or your spouse plan to stop/Start work in the Near Future? 

What if you have slight credit problems? What if you are self employed and you have hard to prove income? How do you explain that to the Internet Robot. What if you want to buy rental property or a vacation home?

3 - Forms

Forms and Fine Print do you really want to trust all that to the Internet. What if you have questions about which forms you need or don't need or why you need a form?

4 - Headaches

Will the Internet Robot handle Problems with appraisers, Title Officers, Loan Documents? Will the Internet Robot chase down, VODs, VOE, VOMs and what are they anyway?

5 - Overall Plan

You got your loan now what? If you refinanced and lowered your payment do you want to run to the mall and casino every month and just throw away your savings every month? Perhaps you want help designing a plan to help you with some of the following 

Fund a Retirement Plan 
Create an Education Fund for your Children and Grandchildren 
Buy Life insurance 
Set Up an Emergency Fund 
Consolidate Bills 

6 - Periodic Review

As your situation changes your needs change. The loan that was best for you last year or 5 years ago may not be best for you now. Does that Internet Robot offer you a periodic review.

What You really want is a Financial Service Professional who has access to all the same programs as services as that Internet Robot. Who will work with you to understand your needs and goals. Someone you know and Trust. Someone who lives around the Corner or Right across the bridge. If You live in St Louis MO do you want to work with someone on the West Coast or the East Coast. Do you know where that Internet Robot Lives.
