STATED INCOME MORTGAGE LOANS

Go Back

Stated Income Mortgage Loans are the most commonly used and least expensive product in the reduced or no documentation suite of programs. A Stated Income Mortgage Loan is often the perfect choice if you have verifiable employment (self-employed individuals who write-off most their income) and assets but your verifiable income is just a little low for what you want to do.

After a very thorough analysis of your debt and verified assets, we will assist you in determining the income to be stated on the application to meet the ratio calculation requirements. All other information on the application is verified. The Stated Income Mortgage is the least expensive product if it works for you. With decent credit, we can guide you to the least expensive program which will work in your specific situation.

Available Stated Income Mortgage Loan Terms

Stated Income Mortgage Loans are available as: 15 or 30 year fixed rate require only 5% equity and the rate will not change, however rates are lower with more equity.

Allowable Use and Property Types

Stated Income Mortgage Loans are available for Single Family, Townhouse, some manufactured housing, and low rise condos. Some programs allow high rise condos 2-4 unit buildings, second homes, or investment properties but are slightly more expensive or require more equity. Allowable uses are for purchase or rate and term refinance. The programs will allow a "cash out" refinance but there are limitations on the allowable cash back. Please contact us with the specifics of your situation for guidance.

The fundamental thing to keep in mind with true No Doc Mortgages is that the lender only has your credit profile and property to evaluate. If your situation allows verification of either employment or assets you will save some money because you have lowered the lenders risk. The choice is yours.
