How To Get A Mortgage Without Removing Disputes From Your Credit Accounts...

Good Morning!
 
You may have been told by your loan officer that you have to remove the disputes from your credit before they can underwrite your loan.
 
For Conventional loans, there is really no way around this. You will have to remove them.
 
However, for FHA loans you don’t necessarily have to remove them.
 
This is true for manually underwritten FHA loans.
 
So, if you are getting an FHA loan, and your loan officer wants to remove the disputes. Ask your loan officer to have the file manually underwritten.
 
On a manually underwritten loan, the underwriter can underwrite the loan “around” the disputes. …Ignore them in other words.
 
That's it for today!

How Paying Extra Can Shave Years Off Your Mortgage...

Good Morning!
 
I have borrowers ask me if paying extra on their mortgage payment each month will save them money over the life of the loan.

The answer is… Of course!

It can save quite a bit actually.

I created the table below to illustrate the savings.
This is based on a 30 year $100,000 mortgage at 4% interest.

00
505 Years
1008.5 Years
15011.08 Years
20013.08 Years
25014.6 Years

If you would like to see how much an extra payment would affect your mortgage just call my team or email me and give me your numbers on your mortgage. …I’ll be happy to help you!

That’s it for today!

Have a good day today! …and thanks for reading.

Max Seller Contributions On Conventional Loans...

Good Morning!
 
On Conventional loans, the maximum amount that an interested party (such as the seller) can contribute to the buyers closing costs and prepaids can vary depending on the loan to value ratio of the loan.
 
Here is the breakdown on how much the seller can contribute...
 
• 2% of the lesser of the property’s sales price or appraised value for a mortgage secured by an
investment property.
 
• 3% of the lesser of the property’s sales price or appraised value for a mortgage secured by a
principal residence or second home, if the LTV ratio, or if applicable, the CLTV, is greater than
90%.
 
• 6% of the lesser of the property’s sales price or appraised value for a mortgage secured by a
principal residence or second home, if the LTV ratio, or if applicable, the CLTV ratio, is in the
range from 76% to 90%.
 
• 9% of the lesser of the property’s sales price or appraised value for a mortgage secured by a
principal residence or second home, if the LTV ratio, or if applicable, the CLTV ratio, is ≤ 75%.
 
That's it for today!

Use Your Bank Statement Deposits To Get A Loan...

Good Morning!
 
I run into a lot of self-employed people that “maximize their deductions” on their tax returns.
 
They make money, but they don’t show a lot of income on their tax returns due to their deductions.
 
They may have great credit, but they can’t get a mortgage because they don’t show enough income.
 
We have bank statement loans now for people in this category. Your bank deposits over two years become your monthly income. The underwriter will want to see the deposits are from business-related income.
 
The rates will be a bit higher on this type of loan than a conventional mortgage, but they can still be relatively low if your credit is decent.   Down payments range from 10% to 40% down depending on credit.
 
If you are in this category and need a mortgage shoot me an email or give me a call and I’ll see if we can help you out.
 
That’s it for today!
 
Have a good day today! …and thanks for reading.

Tip For Renters Who Want To Buy A House...

Good Morning!
 
If you rent from an individual (no apartment complex or management company) – you must PROVE you paid the rent.
 
That means we will need canceled rent checks. …If you pay your rent with cash – DON’T!
 
Start writing checks for rent!
 
If you pay with money orders then put your paycheck in a bank account, then every month draw out the money for the money order – and keep the money order receipts!
 
…but the best is to write checks for rent!
 
That’s it for today!
 
Have a good day today! …and thanks for reading.
