Freedom Mortgage connection

Zeeker

I can't find Freedom Mortgage Loans to connect my accounts, it's a deal breaker for me.

I read some posts here without a status and some suggestions to create offline accounts (not good for me).

What's the STATUS of a "working online connection between Quicken and Freedom Mortgage"?

I would probably request a subscription refund if this can't be done.

Thanks.

@Zeeker - Having a manual loan on Quicken shouldn't be a deal breaker. Many Quicken users prefer the flexibility of a manual loan over an online loan. Here is some information I retrieved via Copilot.

Manual Loans:
- Setup Process: When you create a manual loan account, you manually enter all relevant loan details. This includes the loan amount, interest rate, payment schedule, and other specifics.
- Advantages:
  - Flexibility: Manual loans allow you to customize the setup according to your specific loan terms.
  - Register Access: You can easily access and maintain the loan register.
  - Split Transactions: You can split the opening balance to account for additional costs like taxes and registration fees.
- Recommendation: Many experienced Quicken users prefer the manual approach for loans.
- Conversion: You should be able to convert a manual setup to a linked account later if needed 1.
Linked (Express Connect) Loans:
- Setup Process: Linked loans are connected directly to your financial institution. Quicken retrieves transaction data automatically.
- Limitations:
  - Program Constraints: Quicken’s programming accommodates various ways financial institutions send transactions. Express connect loans may not always align perfectly with Quicken’s limited scope of interest rate schemes.
  - Register Access: Some users experience restricted register access with linked loans.
- Advantage: For once-a-month transactions (like car loan payments), linking may not be a big issue.
- Consideration: Only specific circumstances offer a slight advantage for downloading to a loan account, while manual loans generally provide ease of use and useful information 1.

In summary, both methods have their merits, but many users find manual loans more flexible and recommend them. If you initially set up a manual loan, you can explore converting it to a linked account later if needed.

@Zeeker - one thing that the information above did not include is that you can also convert an online loan to a manual loan. I have seen several posts where the user was having issues with the online loan and the best remedy was to convert the loan to a manual loan.
