No Ratio Mortgage
| A No Ratio Mortgage is a useful option if you are carrying more debt than a
traditional mortgage will allow. In traditional mortgage banking your debt
to income ratio is one of the key factors in determining loan approval. With a No Ratio
Mortgage, no income information is included with the application so no ratio
calculations are made. I use the program when a client's current income is low
relative to their debt or when the client has income which is
impossible to verify. As all other information on the mortgage application is verified,
the No Ratio Mortgage is a "middle ground" product between a Stated
Income and true No Doc mortgage but may be
a good choice for you. Interest only
No Ratio Mortgage products are available. Email
no ratio
mortgage questions. I also offer no ratio
business equipment leasing to business owners. |
Available No Ratio Mortgage Terms
|
No Ratio Mortgage products are available as:
15 or 30 year fixed rate require only 10% equity and the rate will not
change.
Home Equity and Second Trust programs are
available.
|
Allowable Use and Property Types
|
No Ratio Mortgage products 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 me with the
specifics of your situation for guidance. If you are unsure a No Ratio Mortgage
is the right answer for you, I have included a page on traditional
mortgage ratio documentation requirements which may be useful.
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.
