Conventional loans

“Conventional” just means that the loan is not part of a specific government program. Conventional loans typically cost less than FHA loans but can be more difficult to get. There are two main categories of conventional loans:

Jumbo

A loan is considered jumbo if the amount of the mortgage exceeds loan-servicing limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — currently $766,550 for a single-family home in all states (except Hawaii and Alaska and a few federally designated high-cost markets, where the limit is $1,149,825).

Non-QM

Non-QM loans are aimed at borrowers with financial profiles that don’t meet the requirements of a typical qualified mortgage. This often involves an inconsistent or nontraditional income structure, a major credit event or high debt.

DSCR

DSCR, or Debt-Service Coverage Ratio, is a key financial metric used by lenders to assess a borrower's ability to generate enough income to cover their debt obligations. When it comes to financing investment properties, DSCR plays a critical role in determining the feasibility of your investment strategy.

12 /24 Months bank statements.

Lenders that offer bank statement loan programs will look at a borrower's bank over a 12 to 24 month time period to determine the borrower's net income, which is the amount of money earned after the borrower has paid taxes and business-related expenses.

Foreign National

If you are a citizen from another nation, you can still have the opportunity to get a mortgage loan to buy a property in the United States. A mortgage loan to a non-resident person in the U.S.A. is called a Foreign National Mortgage loan. A foreign national who is not a resident of the United States will in many cases seek to own real estate. Financing real estate is generally done by US mortgage companies and banks to United States citizens. The property can become a second or vacation home while staying in America. It could also be an investment property. Dollar Connect Mortgage welcomes the opportunity to provide mortgage services to Foreign Nationals who want to purchase or refinance a home in the United States. Dollar Connect Mortgage offers loans to non-U.S.A. citizens that may be resident aliens, temporary residents or other classifications of either temporary or permanent status.

Jumbo mortgages are available for primary residences, second or vacation homes and investment properties, and are also available in a variety of terms, including fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans. A jumbo loan will typically have a higher interest rate, stricter underwriting rules and require a larger down payment than a standard mortgage.

Social Security numbers for both you and any co-borrowers

ITIN loans allow non-citizens who don't have a Social Security number to apply for a mortgage in the U.S. Instead of using a Social Security number, borrowers of these loans provide their taxpayer ID numbers. To qualify, you'll typically need a high credit score and a down payment of at least 20%.

No Income only VOE

VOE Loan Program only requires a verification of employment (VOE) only for income qualification, No other income documents are required. This loan program can be used by employees to qualify for a mortgage loan with only a VOE for purchase, rate & term refinance or a cash-out refinance
