My feeling is they do not give a balanced opinion.
The required counseling can merely consist of a short phone call at a cost to the borrower of $100. "Counseling" was mandated by the government as part of its attempt to reform lending practices. I do not consider the required phone call true counseling which would require an in-depth analysis by an independent well educated fully accredited professional financial planner.
