Aggressive VA Guidelines…


small brett pic Aggressive VA Guidelines...Recently I wrote about our aggressive guidelines for FHA loans. Guidelines that allows us to make mortgage loans to borrowers that are told “no” by other mortgage companies.
FHA isn’t the only thing we are aggressive about.
We also have aggressive VA guidelines…
- VA down to 550 fico score
- VA Manual UW
- LP or DU findings acceptable
- DTI up to 55% with 2 compensating factors and residual income
- VA no score available
- VA over $417,000 Ok
- Non-traditional credit Ok
- No trade line requirement if AUS approved
If you are a Veteran, and you want to use your VA benefits to get a mortgage please give me a call. I would love to help you! 
That’s it for today!
Have a good day today! …and thanks for reading.

One Way To Reduce Stress And Increase Happiness In Your Life…

small brett pic One Way To Reduce Stress And Increase Happiness In Your Life...
I write about this topic at least once a year, but it’s a good thing to revisit it from time to time…
My job as a loan officer allows me to have a unique perspective into people’s lives.
I can see how much money people make, and how much money they have in the bank.
I do loans for people who make less than $20,000 a year, and I do loans for people who make well over $250,000 a year.
…It doesn’t matter if you make a lot of money, or very little money – there is a common problem that I see again and again…
…No savings.
This isn’t true in every case, but I see it very often.
People tend to spend what they make.
…even the borrowers I have who make a lot of money don’t tend to save their money.
My advice to you?… Pay yourself first.
Open a savings account, and before you pay any other bills – pay yourself first. …pay it just like it was a car payment or an electric bill.
…Make it a percentage (10%) of your total income.
Pay it every month. …it will build up faster than you think.
There is a special comfort that you will gain when you see that you have a comfortable cushion in the bank.
…I want that feeling for you.
This feeling of comfort will percolate into other areas of your life – less fights about money – less stress at work – happy mom and dad makes for happy kids, etc.
That’s it for today!
Have a good day today! …and thanks for reading.
