Understanding No Doc Loans

August 10, 2016 By Justin McHood

Understanding No Doc Loans

You may have heard of stated income, stated asset or no doc loans before.  Basically a loan you can get by “stating” your assets and income rather than showing actual documentation to your lender. These loans are usually utilized by self-employed borrowers. While, No Doc Loans are very similar to stated income and stated asset loans. The No Doc Loan is basically a program which doesn’t require any income information, nor does it require asset or credit information. When lenders determine a borrowers eligibility for a No Doc Loan they determine their qualifications by how much the borrower is willing to put down, as well as the amount of equity in their current home. No Doc Loans are a version of stated asset loans.

It’s important that you have enough equity in your current home along with a decent credit history in order to get approved. No Doc Loans can be used to buy or refinance a house. There are options for borrowers looking to get a second mortgage on their home with the No Doc Second Mortgage program.

The Downside to No Doc Loans

While there are many advantages to a No Doc Loan, there are some stipulations and requirements that might just be a deal breaker. The limit for duplex properties is 1 for a 4 unit residential property. Condo projects must adhere to standard project requirements and be warrantable. No tear-down properties will qualify, only properties considered habitable that need minor repairs do. Properties with more than 10 acres are not accepted with the No Doc Loan program. Also, Properties owned for less than 6 months are not eligible for refinancing and unfortunately, the Cash-Out Refinance option is not available with the No Doc Loan program.

IMPORTANT MORTGAGE DISCLOSURES:

When inquiring about a mortgage on this site, this is not a mortgage application. Upon the completion of your inquiry, we will work hard to match you with a lender who may assist you with a mortgage application and provide mortgage product eligibility requirements for your individual situation.

Any mortgage product that a lender may offer you will carry fees or costs including closing costs, origination points, and/or refinancing fees. In many instances, fees or costs can amount to several thousand dollars and can be due upon the origination of the mortgage credit product.

When applying for a mortgage credit product, lenders will commonly require you to provide a valid social security number and submit to a credit check . Consumers who do not have the minimum acceptable credit required by the lender are unlikely to be approved for mortgage refinancing.

Minimum credit ratings may vary according to lender and mortgage product. In the event that you do not qualify for a credit rating based on the required minimum credit rating, a lender may or may not introduce you to a credit counseling service or credit improvement company who may or may not be able to assist you with improving your credit for a fee.
