No Money Down Home Buying - How...

 Mortgage Broker Advisor

The bad news is that according to Redfin, 38% of U.S. renters don’t believe they’ll ever own a home, up from 27% a year ago.

35% of renters noted the ability to save for a down payment as a major hurdle preventing homeownership.

This Loan Is Just For Divorces...

 mortgage lenders near me

In Texas we have some unusual rules when it comes to getting cash out of our homes.

For owner occupied residences, we are limited to 80% max loan to value ratio.

When it comes to a divorce, if one spouse is keeping the house they will often have to pay the departing spouse their share of the equity in the home. A cash out mortgage is often necessary to get this done.

However, the traditional Texas Home Equity loan could make that difficult due to the cap at 80% of the available equity.

Enter the Owelty loan. This is specifically for a divorce where cash is needed to pay the departing spouse. You can get cash out to pay off the departing spouse, even if the loan amount exceeds 80% LTV.

You would simply have the attorney handling the divorce work up an Owelty Agreement as part of the decree.

Not many loan officers know this loan exists, so if you find yourself in this situation – give our office a call. We can help you!

That’s it for today!

How To Buy A House From A Family Member...

 mortgage lenders near meDid you realize that when buying a house from an immediate family member – the buyer doesn’t have to come out of pocket for a down payment? (As long as it’s an owner occupied residence for seller and buyer.)

…this is because the guidelines allow the seller to “gift” equity to the buyer.

So, the down payment can be a gift from the seller. …in addition to this, the seller can also pay the buyer's closing costs, and prepaid expenses (taxes and insurance).

That’s it for today!

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

No Income Documentation Needed For This Investor Loan...

 mortgage lenders near meDid you know we have a loan product now that allows you to purchase investment property (up to 29 units) without producing income documentation?

We do.  They are called Debt Service Coverage Loans.

As long as the rent from the property will cover the mortgage payment, that is all the income documentation we need.

This means there is never any kind of debt to income issues on these loans, and there is no limit to the number you can do.

You should be aware of two things however…

1)  You Will Have To Put Down Anywhere From 10% to 25% Depending On Your Credit Score.

 

2)  Rates Will Be A Bit Higher Than The Conforming Rate, But They Are Still Reasonable.

So, if you want to purchase investment property, but can’t really provide income documentation this loan may be for you.
You can contact our office to get rates and an estimate for your situation.

That’s it for today!

Thanks for reading!
