How To Get A Loan With Foster Care Income...

 

If you receive money from the State or a County sponsored organization for providing foster care for children you can use this money as income to get a mortgage.

Foster care income is considered acceptable stable income as long as the borrower has a 2 year history of providing foster care services.

To prove this income we would need…

• Letters from the organizations providing the income.

• Copies of the borrower’s signed federal income tax returns that were filed with the IRS, or

• Copies of the borrower’s deposit slips or bank statements that confirm the regular deposit of the payments.

That’s it for today!

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

Two Ways To Help Pay Your Property Taxes...

 Your property tax bill usually comes out in late November, or early December.

There are two issues I see every year with regard to property taxes. …Issues that put people in tough spots.

1) Some people who have non escrowed loans just don’t have the money saved up to pay their property taxes. …They might have had the money, but had to use it in an emergency. …Or any number of other things.

2) Some people have an escrow account on their mortgage – but their mortgage company didn’t collect properly. This often results in an arrearage… Which means your payments go way up until the escrow is caught up.

If you are in either one of these situations – there’s usually an easy fix for it. …Refinancing.

We can often refinance someone in either one of these situations, and we pay the property taxes through the new refinance loan.. …Not only that, but usually at a lower rate and payment than they have now.

Please let us know if you have more questions about how this refinance works.

That’s it for today!

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