They will typically carve out their own niche segment of the market that they are targeting.

Key Parameters:

  • Loan amounts up to $40 Million
  • Minimum 660 FICO score
  • 15 and 30-Year Fixed terms
  • Available for single-family homes, 1-4 Units, Multifamily and Commercial properties

NON-QM

Details

"Non-QM" (Non-Qualified Mortgage),  are "outside of the box loans".  These options offer creditworthy clients the financing they need with a commonsense approach to underwriting. Think of your retirees, self-employed, real estate investors, high-net worth individuals, or those with higher-than-average Debt-to-Income (DTI) with plenty of disposable-income.


Non-QM | DSCR

This underwriting method utilizes the subject property's Debt-Service-Coverage-Ratio (DSCR) instead of your personal Debt-to-Income ratio (DTI) to qualify for financing. We're looking at the income of the subject property and aren't relying on a personal income analysis for loan approval.


Non-QM | Bank Statement

Instead of using tax returns to show creditworthiness, this underwriting method allows clients to use bank statement history to show personal/business income consistent for qualification.  


Non-QM | Cross-Collateral | Bridge

This underwriting method allows us to use multiple properties as collateral on a single loan. Among many uses, it's a great way to get financing for the purchase of a new home, while using the existing equity of your departing residence without having to sell it first.

Key Parameters:

  • Great for Investors and Self-Employed Clients
  • Equity-Based Lending
  • Rental cash-flow analysis
  • 30-Year Fixed, ARMs, Interest-Only 
  • "Bridge" to a new property without selling existing residence

REVERSE MORTGAGES

Details

Available to those 62 years of age or older. A Client stops paying their monthly payment, but is still responsible for their property tax and homeowners insurance payment(s). Instead, the client receives a monthly amount/Lump sum that is taken from the existing equity.


Key Parameters:

  • 62+ in age
  • Lump sum or Equity line
  • Funds can be used to pay off an existing mortgage and for monthly cash-flow for all obligations 
  • Primary Residence only
