No Income Verification

With the current crisis in the credit markets, all no income programs will have to be individually verified, use the following as a guide only

Due to new laws passed in New York, stated and no income fixed rate loans are NOT AVAILABLE for conforming loan amounts...... currently single family loans up to $417,000. Some adjustables may be available, you must call on these loans.

No income verification was originally designed in the mid 80's for self-employed borrowers who needed or wanted to avoid the cost and hassle of the paperwork (2yrs personal and corporate 1040's, and year to date P&L from the accountant).

Today, no income programs come in a variety of forms with a varying array of conditions. Typically, the rates are much higher and the downpayments are much greater than "full doc" loans. No income programs are available up to 75% LTV (Loan to value) It isn't as simple as signing your name and waiting for the check!!!!

The following terms apply to the no income process:

Stated income - Income is listed on the application. The qualifying ratios are applied to this income and the cash flow may be evaluated to see if the income stated on the application can be supported by the funds flowing through the account. More significant is the ability to determine an income range for the employment listed. If the stated income isn't realistic, the loan will be denied.

No ratio - income numbers are NOT listed on the application but employment will be verified using licences (for self-employed) or verbal means.

Asset Verification - Two to three months of bank (or equilivant) statements will be submitted. Depending on the program requirements, this may be used strictly to show where the funds came from or as a back way to verify income (cash flow through the account). Usually, they are also looking for 6 months "post closing liquidity".

No Doc - Income and employment are not listed and there is no asset verification. The loan is based primarily on the credit and appraisal.
