In today’s mortgage industry, it’s common to have clients who are freelancers, contractors, gig workers, and other self-employed borrowers. At MortgageDepot, we understand the unique challenges these borrowers face, and we have tailored solutions to meet their needs. Our knowledgeable team of non-QM lending experts is here to help. Let’s take a closer look at the features in our Non-QM lineup.
Features of Our Non-QM Lineup
- BANK STATEMENTS – 12 & 24-month options: We offer flexibility by accepting bank statements as proof of income for self-employed borrowers. Choose between 12 or 24-month bank statement options.
- All document types accepted: We understand that self-employed borrowers may have different types of income documentation. That’s why we accept various document types, including bank statements, 1-year 1099, WVOE only, Asset Utilization, and P&L only – with no additional bank statements required.
- Self-prepared P&L accepted: We recognize that self-employed borrowers may have the expertise to prepare their own profit and loss statements. With us, self-prepared P&L statements are accepted without the need for additional bank statements.
- No-income investor cash flow – with No Minimum DSCR*: We offer a unique solution for investors with no minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) requirement. This allows investors to qualify based on the cash flow of the property, even without personal income.
- Recent credit events accepted: We understand that life happens, and credit events such as foreclosure, bankruptcy, or short sale may have occurred. Our Non-QM lineup considers recent credit events, giving borrowers a chance to qualify.
- Up to 90% LTV: We offer loan-to-value (LTV) ratios of up to 90%, providing borrowers with more financing options.
- Up to 55% DTI: We understand that self-employed borrowers may have higher debt-to-income (DTI) ratios due to business expenses. Our Non-QM lineup allows for DTIs of up to 55%.
- Flexible loan terms: We offer a variety of loan terms to suit different needs. Choose from a 40-year fixed-rate mortgage with an Interest-Only option or adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) with Interest-Only options, including 5/6, 7/6, and 10/6 ARMs.
- Unlimited cash-out with 6-months seasoning: Borrowers can access their home equity with unlimited cash-out options, provided there is a 6-month seasoning period.
- FICOs from 600: We understand that credit scores can vary for self-employed borrowers. That’s why we accept FICO scores from 600 and above.
- Appraisal Transfers Accepted: If you have recently obtained an appraisal for your property, we accept appraisal transfers, saving you time and money.
- Only 30 days of assets to verify funds for closing: We streamline the closing process by requiring only 30 days of asset verification, making it easier for self-employed borrowers to provide proof of funds.
