Many home buyers cannot provide documentation for personal or tax reasons and are thankful to have no doc loans as an option. Many of these home buyers also have a healthy income, savings, or credit history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A No Doc Loan or Low Document Loan provides increased ease and privacy when applying for a mortgage. <\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the past, anyone could apply for a no doc loan but now this type of loan is designed for self-employed borrowers. No doc loans are also available to investors who may not be self employed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Borrowers that opt for a No Doc Loan are typically those who do not prefer to have their income documentation and financial history presented to the lender. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For instance, they might be using inheritance to secure a loan or have fluctuating income from owning their business.\u00a0 They also may not qualify as a self-employed borrower if they had to do it based upon the income on their tax returns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ease is a big factor as well because with a no doc loan, the borrower provides minimal amounts of information and documentation. With a true no doc loan, you will provide their social security number, current address, and documentation about the property they plan to purchase.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eligibility and Documentation Requirements<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Companies that offer no income verification loans have different eligibility and qualification requirements than conventional or FHA loans. While there are reduced documentation requirements, lenders often look for better credit scores and higher down payment amounts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Credit Score Requirements &#8211;<\/strong> The lowest credit score possible for a no doc loan at the moment is 580. The higher the credit score, the lower the down payment. Lenders are often changing their credit score requirements based upon market conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Down Payment Requirements &#8211;<\/strong> The lowest down payment possible is 15% and with poor credit all the way up to 30% down. The down payment is the only collateral that lenders look for. You cannot pledge equity from another property.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Documentation Requirements &#8211;<\/strong> The required documents will vary based upon the &#8220;type&#8221; of no doc loan that you apply for. There are no loans where you supply no documents at all. What they have in common are no requirement to supply tax returns or W2&#8217;s.\u00a0 In some instances you may be required to provide bank statements. In all cases you would need to provide a copy of your sales contract if you are purchasing a home. If you are refinancing you will be asked for a copy of your current mortgage statement.\u00a0 Prior to close, you must provide documentation that proves the property has homeowner&#8217;s insurance coverage. It is still much less paperwork than a conventional loan.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Types of No-Doc Loans and Low-Doc Loans<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">There are a few types of no doc loans available depending upon your specific scenario. You may qualify for one or more of these and the terms will likely be different for each.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Bank Statement Loans<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dreamhomefinancing.com\/BankStatementLoans.aspx\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Bank Statement Loans<\/span><\/strong><\/a> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">are for self-employed individuals only. No Doc Lenders will ask you to provide 12-24 months bank statements. Only the bank statement deposits will be used for qualification purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The average monthly deposits will be used to qualify you for your mortgage. They will take a percentage of those deposits and those dollars will be treated as income on the loan application. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The good news is that all of the legitimate tax deductions that you are taking for your business will not be used against you like when you apply for a conventional loan. Bank statement loans are the best option available to you now<em>.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The minimum down payment for this program is 10% and will be based upon your credit score. Interest rates will be higher than conventional loans.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Stated Income Loans (Low Doc Loans)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Stated Income Loans or Low Doc Loans typically attract people who work on a cash or commission basis or people who do not draw a consistent salary. The borrower will not need to disclose earnings and might not need to show tax returns or bank statements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Stated income loans allow borrowers to simply state what their income was on the loan application, but do not have to provide any proof of that income. This means no pay stubs, tax returns, or W2s. In some instances, salaried borrowers may qualify for a stated income loan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The minimum down payment now for a stated income loan is 10% and your credit score will be the determining factor.

With this loan, there is no debt-to-income ratio for the lender to evaluate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This loan can be a quick and easy process for borrowers that would have difficulty proving their income.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The typical No Ratio borrower has good credit and abundant assets that make up for the lender not requiring the borrower&#8217;s income information to be measured.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This mortgage comes with a slightly higher interest rate and a minimum down payment of 20%<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em><strong>Update<\/strong> &#8211; No Ratio Loans are available but down payment requirements have recently changed<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">No Income No Asset Loans (NINA)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">No income no asset loans (also called NINA loans) are for self employed people who do not or cannot disclose both income and assets. NINA loans are also for borrowers whose income and assets are typically not sufficient to qualify for a loan. In this case, the borrower will need to have good credit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">NINA loans will also be quick and easy to process because neither your income nor your assets are documented on the loan application. Recent lending guidelines have limited the availability of NINA loans for primary residences and you are likely to find lenders who offer this for investment properties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The down payment requirement for a NINA loan starts at 20% for both primary residence and investment properties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DIjr5DF3vgg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">No Documentation Refinance<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">There are lenders who offer a no doc refinance to borrowers who cannot document their income or assets. The rates will be similar to what you would get if you were purchasing the home. However, a no doc cash out refinance may be limited to the lender&#8217;s maximum loan to value ratio which today is up to a maximum of 75%.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>No Documentation Rate and Term Refinance<\/h4>\n<p>If you are refinancing simply to get a lower rate, change the term, or to remove someone&#8217;s name from a mortgage, you can likely refinance your current mortgage balance.<\/p>\n<p>The maximum loan to value ratio may be up to 90% of the appraised value with a no doc rate and term refinance.<\/p>\n<h4>No Doc Cash Out Refinance<\/h4>\n<p>If you are looking to cash out equity, you can apply for a no doc cash out refinance. Your credit scores, appraisal amount, and property type will determine how much you can be approved for.<\/p>\n<p>Most lenders who offer a no doc cash out refinance will cap the program at a 75% loan to value. It will require an appraisal and if you purchased the home less than 12 months ago, you may <a href=\"https:\/\/nonprimelenders.com\/no-seasoning-requirements\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">need a lender with no seasoning requirements<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>No Doc HELOC &#8211; Home Equity<\/h3>\n<p>A popular way for homeowners to access the equity in the home is with a HELOC. (home equity line of credit). The difference between e HELOC and a home equity loan is with a HELOC you are getting a line of credit that you can draw on if needed, but a home equity loan requires you to take all of the funds at closing.<\/p>\n<p>A no doc HELOC is extremely rare at this point because the lenders who offer no doc loans are unable to profit effectively with the HELOC product. As a result, you will find it easier to gain an approval for a cash out refinance or even a second mortgage if the loan amount is large enough.<\/p>\n<p>If your home is completely paid off and you would like to cash out equity, a no doc cash out refinance may be the better option versus a no doc HELOC. That said, your current mortgage rate may be low which could make a complete refinance costly. Let&#8217;s talk about your current situation with the equity and rate that you may have and come up with a plan that works for you. <a href=\"https:\/\/dreamhomefinancing.com\/LeadForm.aspx\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Contact us here<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">No Document Required Investment Loan<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">No doc loans today exist to help finance investment properties with no job or income documentation required. The lenders are simply looking at your credit scores, down payment, and whether the property will be cash flow positive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In most instances, a no-doc investment loan can be done with as little as 20% down.

Due to the increased risk when providing either no, or little documentation, the rates will be 1-3% higher than conventional rates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The mortgage rates offered are also tied closely to your credit scores and down payment. The more you put down and the higher your credit scores, the lower your interest rate will be. Therefore, these two factors are most critical if your goal is to get the lowest rate possible. Keep in mind there is no PMI associated with these loans so if you are able to put less than 20% down, you will have that savings in your mortgage payment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The repayment terms offered are typically a 30 year fixed mortgage. It may be possible to get an adjustable rate in exchange for a lower interest rate. There are typically no prepayment penalties for financing primary residence, but for investment properties the lender may have a prepayment penalty requirement.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Pros and Cons of No Documentation Mortgages<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Like any type of mortgage, no documentation mortgages come with their own set of pros and cons that borrowers should consider before applying:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Pros:<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Simplified application process without extensive income documentation requirements.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Potential for faster approval and funding compared to traditional mortgages.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">May be suitable for self-employed individuals or those with irregular income sources.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Cons:<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Tend to have higher interest rates compared to conventional mortgages.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Often require larger down payments or higher credit scores to offset the increased risk.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Borrowers may face limited options as the availability of no documentation mortgages has decreased in recent years.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Understanding the basics of no documentation mortgages is essential for borrowers considering this type of loan. It is crucial to carefully assess the pros and cons, evaluate personal financial circumstances, and explore alternative mortgage options before making a decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Alternatives to No-Doc Loans<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">There are two most prominent alternatives when financing a property. The first is going with a private lender who may not have specific lending requirements. This could just be anyone within your circle who has money to lend. In those instances, you simply work out the terms and sign a note. This individual is now your lender.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The other alternative is to put yourself in position to get approved for a fully documented loan which would offer you the best possible terms. This could mean waiting to have the work history, filing your tax returns, or even waiting on a bankruptcy to season.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Bottom Line &#8211; No Doc Loans<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To find out whether a no doc loan is right for you,<\/span> contact us <span style=\"color: #000000;\">or complete the<\/span> <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/dreamhomefinancing.com\/LeadForm.aspx\">free quote<\/a><\/strong><\/span> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">form and we will get back to you to discuss your options free of charge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In a recent article by CNBC, they tell us that some<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2016\/06\/07\/bank-requires-few-loan-documents-seems-like-housing-deja-vu.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">banks require few mortgage documents<\/span><\/a>. <span style=\"color: #000000;\">In this case, they are calling it a Light Doc Loan where the bank does not have to comply with the Dodd Frank ATR or ability to repay rule.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">*If you are looking for a no doc loan and you have bad credit, we can still help you even if your credit scores are as low as 580.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">No Document Loans &#8211; No Doc Loans (FAQ) Frequently Asked Questions<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Q: are no doc loans still available?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>A:<\/strong> A true no doc loan for primary residences is difficult to find.

Basically, all you needed was an address and a signature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Legislators forced banks to offer loans that would help more people to be able to purchase a home. In fact, there were fines if the lenders did not offer these loans. The lenders compiled and provided these loans but they sold them off in bundles as investments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When people started to foreclose, the loans defaulted and the investments failed. This resulted in the mortgage meltdown of 2008. Politicians blamed the lenders and interestingly enough they did not blame the big banks but instead, they blamed mortgage brokers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What happened next was the lending guidelines tightened. All of the creative loan programs disappeared and gone were no doc loans, stated income, options arm loans, etc.\u00a0 Some lending institutions even went out of business. A few examples are Indy Mac bank and Countrywide for example that specialized in no doc loans are gone now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">After a few years of mortgage darkness, some of the creative programs such as bank statement loans started to come back again.
