 “THE” BRIDGE LOAN 
 
 A Bridge Loan is a loan product that permits a client to get a loan-against-equity in an existing property that they own, to help facilitate the purchase of another property.  A Bridge Loan will allow a percentage of the value of a property that is listed for sale, or under sales contract scheduled to be sold
 
 "THE" BRIDGE LOAN is special, in that it does not count the Bridge Loan Payment NOR the current home mortgage (1st mortgage) payment against a client's income, allowing the client to qualify for a larger property.

 
Up to 65% of the Value of the Listing Sales Price of a home, minus the 1st mortgage balance;

Up to 70% of the Value of the Sales Price of a home, minus the 1st mortgage balance. Payment is calculated, and payment schedule identified and initiated, but "THE" Bridge Loan Payment is not counted in the client's Debt-To-Income Ratios, making it easier for the client to qualify for their next home.

Product available to be used with a previous residence outside of Florida or Colorado. Lender must have holdings in that particular state. (Lender has holdings in 33 states). Also, "THE" Bridge Loan can only be used when a client intends to buy another property as their
Primary Residence.

 
 NO INCOME
VERFICATION
  
 
 Also knows as Stated-Income loans, these products use only what the client states is their income, but does not verify these figures, UNLESS....

 
Underwriting determines that there is a need to review the client's tax returns. As part of the loan process, the client must sign 2 documents which authorizes the Lender to pull tax returns from the IRS to check the accuracy of the loan application. The 2 IRS forms are:

IRS Form 8821
IRS Form 4506

The Stated-Income loans require the following:

2 years of continued employment on the same job, or in the same line of work;

Verification of Assets for cash-to-close, as well as 6 months cash reserves after closing.

  
As little as 10% down, although the lower the amount down, the greater scrutiny the file attracts.

Preferred cash down would be in the range of 20% to 30%.

 
 FOREIGN BUYER

  PROPERTY DEFINITIONS
     COMMENTS    DOWNPAYMENT REQ'D.
 PRIMARY RESIDENCES  A property where the buyer (aka, mortgagor)
will live in full-time.
 Underwriting guidelines require that the client's place of work is in proximity to their residence. Specifically defined as being within 50 - 150 miles of your place of employment. Underwriting's determination of Distance is based on population density of subject area.  
100% NON-GOVERNMENT financing is available. Funds for cash to close can come via a Gift or Grant. Seller can contribute up to 3% of the Final Sales Price towards the Buyer's Closing Costs. This option is available to all clients (without Income restrictions), and require interest rate adjustments.
  INVESTOR LOANS    Any property that is intended for use as a rental property. Also, any purchase of a 2-unit, 3-unit or 4-unit property.    
Downpayment requirements on a property are based upon the perceived risk to which the lender may
be exposed.
  10% Down. Rental Income can be used to offset the payment, and help you qualify for the mortgage.
 SECOND HOMES  Any property that is for the exclusive use of the client. May not be part of a
rental pool.
 
Second homes are considered luxury items, and as such, the Underwriting guidelines are more stringent than those for a Primary Residence.
 5% down now available. Preferred 10% offers the best interest rates. Client must have good credit and cash reserves
after closing.
 CONDOMINIUMS  A property other than a Single-Family Residence or a 2/3/4-Unit property. Will be part of a Master Homeowner's Association, and Maintenance Fees will be required as part of the client's monthly/quarterly debt service on the property.  
As opposed to a Single-Family Residence (where an appraisal and pest inspection will suffice), a condominium undergoes aggressive scrutiny over and above an appraisl. The areas of scrutiny include the Condominium Documents, the current and proposed Budget, and the insurance coverage (evidenced by a Master Certificate of Insurance).
 As little as 5% down on Primary Residences, 10% down on Second Homes.
 2/3/4 UNIT PROPERTIES  Also known as Multi-Family Units, these property typically are attached units, which are rented to individual families.  
The Underwriting guidelines state that the lender would prefer that the client have had experience in the management of rental properties, but the lack of experience can be offset by other compensating factors.
 As little as 10% down. 30% down affords the best investor
interest rates.
