mortgage shopping: Mortgage Rate Shopping Tips - 10/21/09 02:50 PM
I think that shopping for a mortgage lender is one of the hardest things to do but Bill Ladewig from San Diego gives you great advice and a few tricks.  Ask each lender for the same information so that you can shop them comparatively!
