Second Mortgage
An individual’s home is the biggest asset that one has at his disposal. A home to back you up when you need a loan is one of the greatest advantages of home ownership. In recent years, there has been a major boom in the amount of people looking to use their homes as a way to get access to extra money when they need it most. One of the best ways to do this is through a second mortgage.
Second mortgage loans are loans that are made in addition to the first mortgage, and it is usually based on the amount of equity that the borrower uses to build into his home. Usually it’s required to fund home renovations. Since the borrower has already been through the process once, the underwriting that is required to get a second mortgage is much simpler than it was the first time around when the borrower had taken the first loan. The cost of the transactions involved will be lower when the borrower applies for the loan second time. This usually happens for the fact that interest rates on the second mortgage are a bit higher than they were on the first one. But then, there are some positive points too. For example, the fact that the interest paid on the loan may be tax deductible. In most cases the interest is 100% fully deductible as long as the combined loan to value of the 1st and 2nd mortgage does not exceed the value of the home.
“A” credit loan
“A” credit loan – A mortgage for a very stable borrower with excellent employment and credit history. These are sometimes called “vanilla loans” because the meet general mortgage guidelines and are easy to complete.This type of loan/borrower often qualifies for the most attractive rates available. A credit score of 720+ is one of most important criteria in establishing a A rating.
A paper borrowers have the most options availble to them regarding financing. The difference in a 720 credit score and a 620 credit score may be 2% (or higher) interest rate.
A credit is a very loose term that applies to basically just having good credit with a good score. You can have perfect credit, no lates ever, no collections and no derogatory credit ever and still have a low credit score and not be considered “A” credit. There may be many reasons for this low score. You may be maxed out on all of your revolving credit (credit cards and such) and have a lot of inquiries. These two items can negatively affect your score and remove you from the A credit classification.
No Doc Loans
No Doc Loans – A No-Doc loan allows the borrower to apply for a loan and not have to state their income, employment, assets or even submit bank statements. This type of loan is often time appealing to Self-employed, single women who do not have the required two year track record and many successful entrepreneurs who simply don’t want to reveal how much they make. In doing a No-Doc loan the borrower will have a one percent higher rate on average than most conventional loans.These loans are based on the value of your home and your credit report. Interest only options are available including the 30 year fixed rate programs.
No Doc Loans are also called No Income No Asset. They are not the same as Stated Income, Verified Asset or Stated Income, Stated Asset. No doc loans are often confused with stated income loans but there is a difference. In a stated income loan the method of earning income must be proven but the borrower is allowed to simply state the amount of that income without providing any proof. A no doc loan means that no documentation at all regarding the amount or the method of earning the income is required.
Great loans for people who have lost their job or in a case where the amount of stated income would seem unreasonable. No Doc programs are available on loans as great as $1 Mil to 100%. In some cases a lenders guidelines for a no doc loan even waive the need for a full appraisal, or the requirement that the borrower have the property for at least 12 months before refinancing. This is a useful program for investment property owners who need to draw cash out of the equity of a property that was rehabilitated. Most lenders will not use the new appraised value with out additional documentation and “seasoning” of the property for at least 6 months and usually 12 months.
