Read full reviewOur editors’ take on Network Capital Funding Corporation
After reading through ConsumerAffairs reviews, we found that many of Network Capital’s customers had complicated credit histories or financial situations. Having less-than-ideal credit requirements or buying a new home with caveats is hard with many online-only lenders. We highly recommend Network Capital for these types of situations since reviewers said the loan officers had knowledge and experience navigating them.
We also recommend Network Capital for individuals who want to complete the mortgage process quickly. Its site boasts of a 15-day closing period, but reviewers saw even faster results than that.
Jason from California was able to close their refi in a week, and another California reviewer refinanced in nine days, saying, “[Network Capital] got me the lowest rate by far of anyone I had previously talked to.”
Unfortunately, Network Capital is not available in all states. Also, if you are looking for a lender with the lowest rates, other lenders might be a better choice. Finally, if you have an uncomplicated financial situation, there are other lenders out there that offer a streamlined, tech-savvy application process and mortgage app to help with your application.

The reps from Network Capital were very professional. I like people who can do their jobs like it's nothing, because that's what you do. They did what they said they would and when they said they would get it done. They stood up to the appraiser and the underwriters over a mistake in appraisal. I've never met anybody, so far, ever before that would do that. And those people are worth knowing. They weren't successful with that appraiser but when I called the VA, they were successful in making that appraiser do what they were supposed to do. The rate was a little high, but not to me, because the rates had gone up. I come from the age where people were paying 12% for mortgages at one time and 7% was not at all uncommon from most of my lifetime. The price of mortgages in the past few years has been unbelievable. I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop on that one.
People should go with Network Capital. I like the way they do their job. I would've probably paid a very similar cost for my mortgage anywhere else, because right now, I'm having a bad credit period, and not of my doing. I had some identity theft, which caused me some serious problems, mainly with my credit score with a USAA Bank. It's not been a pretty situation, so I would not have gotten a better interest rate anywhere else. Network Capital does a good job and don't mess around. If they run into a delay, you'll know exactly what the problem was and why, because it's usually not them. They're right on top of things.

I have lots of problems with the bank that had my previous mortgage. They let somebody steal another property of mine. It was mortgage fraud. Network Capital Funding worked with me really well. I got one of the government loans because I ended up, from that other bank, going through a bankruptcy that I shouldn't have had to go through. I had some phone conversations with Network Capital about my financial situation, and then I was contacted by a representative who took more of the specific numbers.
They gave me some quotes on what they could do for me. I had to submit documents of all types. They were reviewed by their underwriters. Then I got some disclosure forms on it, but towards the end, I didn't like that I didn't find out until later on that they would transfer me out to another lender. It still went through, and they had somebody come here and do the paperwork with me. I got the payout and the satisfactions on some of the other loans that I had and checks to pay those off.
The loan officer was phenomenal, and she was easy to reach. She was knowledgeable, and she was very caring and extremely patient. The closing costs are really high. They said that these government loans were supposed to make it an equal opportunity for everybody, even if they had compromised interest to be able to take advantage of low interest rates, and that's not so because I think we pay much higher closing costs to get the same loan. Then there was a lot of interference with my past banks. They blocked getting my lending. There were a lot of additional people that were causing blockages and sabotaging my loan.

Network Capital was able to satisfy my needs. I was looking for something to get me out of a conventional loan into a VA loan and still be able to do the refinance, and they had a package that was offered that suited that need. From the first contact to the closing was less than 45 days. They had a great team. I only had to deal with three people the entire time. The first person that I made contact with made sure to keep following up with me. “Hey, did this person help you? Now that you're in this next stage, did they help you to get to the next stage?” He's even followed up with me a couple of times since we've been closed. “Hey, have you had any problems? Did you get your payment book in the mail? Have you set up all your payments all right? Is everything going good? Any problems with the website?” So, they've been really good.
The way the piece works is Network Capital does the initial thing. Even though my loan was sold off, he still stayed in touch with me to make sure things were going well. As far as the rates, they came in under all the market, so that was good. I can't say that I'm happy because my previous one was much lower but I was in a spot where I had to refinance, and they were able to beat the current market by over a point. So, that was a good thing for me.

I was going through other lenders to get a cash out refinance of a rental property but I felt that they were not being honest with me and it turned out that I was right. It really wasn't something that would require intervention with a lawyer but nevertheless, you want truthfulness and transparency with a lender. But I did get a phone call from Drake ** from Network Capital and he really took care of me along with Craigneisha **. The process was fast and flawless and most importantly, they were 100% transparent!! I would most definitely do business with them again. But there was one glitch that I wish Network Capital could remedy. For me to get the loan I had to pay off some creditors which was no problem but I wish that Network Capital would pay them off instead of sending me a check to send to my creditors to pay off the balance.
One creditor claim that they did not receive the payment and I went to collections. I received the typical nasty grams and was constantly being harassed even though I told them that I sent the check. And I even sent them a copy of the cancelled check that I got from Network Capital. The issue was finally resolved but after some headache. Even with that hiccup though, I really liked the attention I received from Drake and Craigneisha, and will seek them out again whenever I plan to refinance or get a loan!!

I called Network Capital Funding and the individual I ended up with was Joseph. He was so kind and so persuasive to assure me that he could get things done. There was a problem that was existing with me being on a deed with my husband but not the mortgage. Joseph was better than a typical person who I was paying money to and he knew his job. If he didn't know what he was doing, he reached out to the proper party to find out because I would not work with them until he was able to clarify several things.
One thing he had to clear off for me was by me being on the deed and not the mortgage, would they still be able to assist me? He checked with whomever it was and said yes. I was denied three to four times by other entities that said the same thing. Joseph said, "No, ma'am. We are our own entities, we don't have a third party to help. We lend our own money." I asked, "Who's your underwriter to make sure that they are gonna approve this? This is my credit score. If y'all can work with it, let me know." He said they would still have to pull it, but it sounded pretty good because my credit score showed 7 something. But then as they pulled it under whatever mark, it was 680 something.
I also told Joseph that on my credit report, it said I owned a timeshare. But I got rid of that several years ago. He checked into it and talked to someone. They said it was not a problem. Network Capital could still work with me. My credit was good too. Joseph worked very diligently and the process took less than 45 days. Joseph was very good at what he does. He knows how to get to the source, comes back, and works with the clients. I do not like the rate but I needed to get out of that bad assumed mortgage that I took on that was once my husband's. Network Capital on the whole has been pretty good so far.

Network Capital Funding did very well. There was a couple of hiccups in the process but everything was handled. So, we were happy with them. We worked very closely on the phone and the computer throughout the whole thing. I'm an ex-mortgage guy, so I totally understand the business and they didn't have to explain a whole lot of stuff. It took about 12 days to resettlement. It was very quick.
My loan officer was very good. He understood me, and I understood him. We rock and rolled right through it. We'd love to have a better rate, but it's just impossible given the economy. We're in the middle of a rate hike. So, the rate changed and they called us quite a bit to say, "Look, lock in, lock in. We need you to lock in because they're going up." They were very proactive in helping us with the rates. The one thing that I would have wished would happen was we had requested that they service our loan but the loan was sold off right away after it was financed.

Network Capital Funding Corporation was very courteous. They checked out the situation. And it was interesting how far the loan officer went to try to help me.
How we rated Network Capital Funding Corporation
We scored Network Capital high for its application process and requirements. Many online lenders will automatically deny applicants who do not have the listed requirements, but ConsumerAffairs reviewers report that Network Capital’s loan officers will work closely with individuals who have complicated finances and histories to see if a loan is possible.
Network Capital receives a good rating for its rates and costs and fees because we believe that other online-only lenders can offer a better deal, especially for buyers with high credit scores and uncomplicated financial histories.
Rates: Good
Network Capital posts its starting rates for conventional, FHA and VA loans on its website. Note that these rates are for highly qualified borrowers. Getting a quote directly from the lender will give you a better idea of what you qualify for.
Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data shows that Network Capital’s average home purchase rate from 2019 to 2021 ranged from 0.11% lower than the national average (2020) to 0.36% higher (2019).
“I got a very good rate looking at the conditions of the market. They also said that whenever it's convenient for me or it's worthwhile, they'll try to lower the rate if the market permits,” said Jesus, a reviewer from California.
“[The loan officer]...was able to not only match the other company's interest rate, but offer a lower rate and better terms within about an hour,” said another reviewer based in Florida.
Network Capital offers both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs). A fixed-rate loan guarantees you have the same rate for the entire life of the loan. An ARM has an introductory rate that's fixed for a set amount of time and then changes regularly. For example, a 3/1 ARM has a fixed rate for three years and then adjusts yearly after that. ARMs are a popular choice for borrowers who don’t plan to live in their home long or are comfortable with the risk of a rising payment in the future.
Network Capital Funding Corporation average home purchase rate vs. national average
Year | Difference from national average |
---|---|
2021 | +0.18% |
2020 | -0.11% |
2019 | +0.36% |
Application process: Excellent
When you apply for a mortgage, lenders typically ask for bank statements, pay stubs, investment accounts, tax returns and other financial documents. Network Capital has an online application process and platform that lets you sync bank accounts and other finances, so the company can automatically collect your information. This saves you the hassle of uploading a lot of documentation. If you do need to upload documents, though, you can do it on the website.
When you apply for a loan, the company will match you with a loan officer who will work with you through the entire process. Having one point of contact helps ease some of the stress of buying or refinancing a home.
Tanya, a ConsumerAffairs reviewer from Maryland, had this to say about working with Network Capital Funding Corporation: “Refinancing or buying houses can be very stressful, but Network Capital was on top of it … explaining things and working with us to try to get us the rate that we wanted. … We've financed several homes and refinanced several times and this was the best experience.”
The company asks for documentation to be submitted with the application (some lenders let you wait until later in the process). Getting the information upfront allows Network Mortgage to underwrite your loan package so you're fully preapproved, giving sellers confidence that you have financial backing.
Kristi from Texas said, “The application process was fairly easy. They sent me everything that they needed for me and I responded and it seemed to work smoothly.”
Another reviewer shared similar praise with only some complaints about the burden of the closing documents: “My experience was efficient, effective and very professional. Their agent gave us documents to show what he was proposing as opposed to just telling me what it is and me hoping they're telling the truth. The process was seamless,” they said. “The only thing was, there were a lot of documents to physically sign at closing. We had a 200-page closing document so if they can find a way to streamline that, that will be perfect.”

Loan types: Good
Network Capital offers conventional, FHA and VA home purchase and refinance loans with fixed and variable rates. Some lenders offer more loan products, but Network Capital offers the most popular mortgage types.
In 2021, Network Capital received 1,985 home purchase loan applications and closed on only 200 of these loans. It denied 307 (about 15%) of these applications.
One Indiana homeowner was looking for a very specific loan type and was able to use Network Capital to do so: “I was looking for something to get me out of a conventional loan into a VA loan and still be able to do the refinance, and they had a package that was offered that suited that need. From the first contact to the closing was less than 45 days.”
Loan applications for home purchases only by year
2021 | 2020 | 2019 | |
---|---|---|---|
Home purchase applications | 1,985 | 768 | 413 |
Home purchase loans closed | 200 | 108 | 71 |
Home purchase applications denied | 307 | 94 | 75 |
Home purchase preapprovals denied | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Refinancing
Refinancing can give you the opportunity to lower your interest rate, change your loan’s term length, switch to a different type of loan or get cash out of your home equity. From 2019 to 2021, over 97% of Network Capital’s loans were refinance loans — either rate-and-term refinances or cash-out refinances.
Home purchase vs. refinance loans by year
2021 | 2020 | 2019 | |
---|---|---|---|
Home purchase loans | 1.50% | 0.93% | 2.26% |
Refinance loans | 58.12% | 83.84% | 58.70% |
Cash-out refinance | 40.38% | 15.24% | 39.04% |
Requirements: Excellent
Network Capital provides some general information about requirements for conventional, FHA and VA loans.
The company says conventional loans generally require a credit score of 620 and a debt-to-income (DTI) ratio of 36% or lower.
FHA loans and VA loans require a credit score of 580. You can put down as little as 3.5% on an FHA loan. VA loans don’t require a down payment.
We rated the lender’s requirements as excellent since it helped a few reviewers access a home loan or refinance when their financial situation had previously been rejected by other lenders.
Alistine from Illinois had a complicated financial situation with a foreclosed timeshare on their credit report that had caused them to be denied three to four times by other lenders. Network Capital worked with them closely to still provide a home loan. Not only did their loan officer help them prove they had the right requirements for a loan, but the process took less than 45 days to complete.
Another reviewer shared a similar review saying they could not refinance their home through other lenders but Network Capital was able to work with them.
Network Capital Funding Corporation mortgage requirements by type
Min. credit score | Min. down payment | Compare with other lenders | |
---|---|---|---|
Conventional | Typically 620 | Typically 3% | Mortgage lenders |
FHA | 580 | 3.5% | FHA lenders |
VA | 580 | 0% | VA lenders |
Cost and fees: Good
Network Capital says it has no lender fees for qualifying borrowers; there are no application, origination or underwriting fees. However, this doesn’t mean you won’t pay any closing costs on a Network Capital loan. Examples of costs you may owe at closing include an appraisal fee, escrow funds, a recording fee and title fees.
After Network Capital receives your application, it will send you a Loan Estimate form, which gives you an idea of your loan costs. This can be helpful to have while you compare lenders.
Lori from Wisconsin had a good experience with their loan officer but was not impressed by Network Capital’s closing costs. They said, “The closing costs are really high. They said that these government loans were supposed to make it an equal opportunity for everybody, even if they had compromised interest to be able to take advantage of low-interest rates, and that's not so because I think we pay much higher closing costs to get the same loan.”
Terry from California was able to complete a refinance with Network Capital in only 12 days. They said, “[The loan officer] was very honest and upfront about everything and there were no hidden fees or additional costs that were added late in the process. His company provided the lowest cost and the best rates of the many companies I looked at.”
