Your Three Keys To Bonus Income...

 Mortgage Broker AdvisorGood Morning!

If you get bonus income please be aware of how the mortgage company will treat that income when you try to get a mortgage.

1) We can’t use bonus income or overtime income unless you can prove you have been receiving this income for 2 years.

2) The employer has to indicate that the bonus or overtime income will likely continue.

3) We will use a two year average of bonus and/or overtime income. So, if you got alot this year, but not last year then we will have to use an average of both years.

That’s it for today!

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

How To Buy A House Using A Reverse Mortgage...

 Mortgage Broker AdvisorGood Morning!

I’ve written about this before, but we have more and more people passing the age 62 threshold, so I wanted to show you how to buy a house with a reverse mortgage.

I had a borrower that was recently retired, and now living on a fixed income.

They owned their home free and clear, and lived in a small town not too far from Dallas.

Their home was worth around $150,000.

Both husband and wife decided they didn’t want to live their retirement years in their current home.

…they wanted to spend their retirement on or near a lake. …so, they found a house they liked on a near by lake for around $295,000.

They didn’t have the cash to buy the new home outright. …and, they didn’t really want to take on mortgage payments at this stage in their lives.

I suggested they use a Reverse Mortgage to purchase the home. Here’s how it worked…

They sold their current home and put down their proceeds from the sale as their down payment. Instead of getting a traditional mortgage to pay the difference between their down payment and the sales price – we used a Reverse Mortgage.

The result is they get to retire on a lake in a home worth twice what their old home was worth. They put down less than half the sales price. …and, they will never make another mortgage payment for the remainder of their lives!

That's it for today!

Thanks for reading!

Some Alternative Documentation Loans We Offer...

 Mortgage Broker AdvisorGood Morning!

If you need an Alternative Documentation loan look no further. We have the most robust Alt Doc product offering in the mortgage industry.

Alternative Documentation loans are loans that allow you to use alternative documentation to prove your income. That is, other than the traditional Tax Returns, or W-2’s and Pay stubs.

Option 1: Bank statement loans.

Very simply we take the aggregate deposits of your bank statements (can be personal or business) and use this for your income.

Variables of Bank Statement loans…
24 Months of bank statements.
12 Months of bank statements.
2 Months of bank statements.
1 Month bank statement.

The reason we offer multiple options for months is that sometimes a 12 month average won’t work as good for the borrower as one month.

We offer down payments as low as 10% on owner occupied bank statement programs.

We also offer multiple ways of calculating deposits, which is very helpful if there are issues with one calculation method.

Rates on these programs are usually only modestly higher than normal conforming rates.

Option 2: Asset Depletion

If you have no income to speak of, or at least you can’t prove your income via traditional means, or bank statements, then Asset Depletion may be an option for you.

If you have sufficient assets then we can use your assets in lieu of income documentation.

We have down payments as low as 15% on Asset Depletion loans.

Option 3: Investor Debt Service Coverage.

This documentation option is for non owner occupied investment properties. It requires no income documentation. We use the income from the property (rental income) for the buyers income to get the loan approved.

Option 4:  No Ratio and Stated Income loans

No Ratio is stated income and verification of assets to close the transaction.

This is a non owner occupied investor loan only.

Stated Income and Stated Assets is also non owner occupied investor loans only.

We are experts at getting these loans closed and funded.

If you are needing an Alt Doc loan feel free to reach out to us with your questions, or apply now to get pre qualified.

Thanks for reading!

Where Is Your Down Payment Coming From?...

 Mortgage Broker AdvisorGood Morning!

One of the most important things you will have to do when you apply for a loan is to show that you have the money for the down payment.

This is called “sourcing down payment funds”.

For instance, the down payment on an FHA loan is 3.5%.

You can have this money in your checking account or savings account now. You can borrow it from your retirement account. …You can even get the down payment as a gift.

…but, it’s crucial that we are able to show where it’s coming from.

I can tell you that cash is a problem when it comes to sourcing your down payment. You will need to put it in the bank and leave it for 60 days before we can use it.

If you aren’t sure where your down payment is coming from – find out now. …before you apply for a loan.

That’s it for today!

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