"Wait... I didn't know that. Maybe I qualify." "Here's something most homebuyers don't know." "Every mortgage has a set of guidelines, whether it is conventional to Jumbo, FHA, VA, USDA, ITIN, Revers Mortgage, whatever – there is an investor that purchases that loan according to a set of guidelines.” "But many lenders and especially the big banks add something called 'overlays.' " "An overlay is simply an extra rule the bank creates to reduce its own risk." For example, maybe the loan program allows a 620 credit score—but that bank won't go below 680. Or maybe the program allows a higher debt-to-income ratio say 43% but the bank only goes to 38% —but the bank has a stricter limit." "As an independent mortgage broker, I work with multiple wholesale lenders." "If one lender has stricter overlays, another lender may follow the standard program guidelines more closely or offer a different program that fits your situation." "That doesn't mean every loan can be approved—but it does mean one 'no' isn't always the final answer." According to the CFPB: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau these are the 3 most common reasons a loan is denied and how we can help: 1. Income This is the #1 reason. Examples: Self-employed with large tax write-offs. Commission or bonus income that's difficult to document. Retirees living on assets. Real estate investors. 1099 contractors. Recently changed jobs. Many banks have more conservative debt to income ratio overlays, leaving the borrower qualify for less. They also may not have niche loans for self-employed borrowers who sometimes have trouble qualifying off tax returns. Often times, real estate investors have deductions on that make it difficult to cash flow on their returns. Independent mortgage brokers like Fresh Home Loan Inc. can often access lenders that accept: Bank statement loans Asset utilization/depletion DSCR loans for investors Alternative income documentation 2. Credit Every lender has different overlays. Examples: Credit score just below the bank's minimum. Limited credit history. Recent bankruptcy or foreclosure. A manual underwriting situation. One lender may decline the loan while another approves it under a different program. 3. The Property or Collateral The borrower may qualify, but the property doesn't. Examples: Non-warrantable condos Deferred maintenance Unique property Many times, large banks simply won't finance these situations, while Independent Mortgage brokers can. Unlike traditional banks that offer only their own loan products, Fresh Home Loan works with a network of wholesale lenders to help clients find financing that best fits their unique financial goals and circumstances.
