In this market there is no doubt that it's tougher to get financing then it was a year ago or even a few months ago. If you are self-employed or trying to buy a house with no money down you already know this. But it doesn't mean you can qualify for a mortgage, even at 100% or with stated income. Although you can't go to your local bank and get a loan at 100% financing or with stated income, mortgage brokers have access to these types of loans.
Why don't you hear about these programs, because a lot of brokers are lazy and complacent. They are still in the same mind set they were a few years ago, they have a few lenders that they work with and when their lenders eliminate programs they assume every one has. A lot professionals in the business also have the mindset if they can't help you now, they can't help you.
Don't give up if you have been turned by a lender or even 5, there are programs out there that can help you achieve your goals, but you have to be willing to do the research. I spend about 2 hours a day looking for new lenders and new programs that can help my clients (and I know where to look). Yes, you might have to do a little work to improve your credit scores, but your mortgage professional should be able to help you do this. I would say about 25% of our clients needed help with improving their scores 20-30 points before we could do a loan, but that usually can be done with in 60 days.
If you are self-employed, looking for 100% financing, or just need help finding a loan call us, we will work you to find the right solution, whether that is doing a loan with us or another option that will meet your needs better.
