CONSTRUCTING A LOAN Step 1 : QUALIFYING BORROWER Lenders look at 4 Cs formula 1) Credit Report a. Credit Score = 700+ A+ paper 660 – 700 A paper 620 – 659 A - paper Consider as a good Credit if score = 620+ Consider as a not good Credit, Subprime if score = 620- 600 – 619 B paper 500 – 599 C paper Above is just a general guide line . It varies from lender to lender. b. Credit History = any default in 30, 60, 90-days . If yes then we may need LOE (Letter Of Explanation) 2) Collateral Loan To Value (LTV) = Amount of loan / Appraised value of home < = 80% (70% is preferrable) If > 80% then we should split into 2 loans to avoid PMI 3) Capacity a. Total debt/total income (Back End ratio) < 38% (some lenders accept 50%) Back End = (PITI + Debts) / GI Where P = Principle (Monthly Mortgage) I = Interest (Monthly Mortgage) T = Property Tax (Monthly) = (Purchased Value x 1.25%) /12 I = Hardzare Insurance (Monthly) = (Loan Value x 0.35%) / 12 GI = Gross Income (Monthly) = ( $perhour x 2080hrspermonth) /12 Debts = Credit card debts + Auto loan + etc. b. Mortgage debt / total income (Front End ratio) < 28% (some lenders accept 35%) Front End = PITI / GI Where P = Principle (Monthly Mortgage) I = Interest (Monthly Mortgage) T = Property Tax (Monthly) = (Purchased Value x 1.25%) /12 I = Hardzare Insurance (Monthly) = (Loan Value x 0.35%) / 12 GI = Gross Income (Monthly) = ( $perhour x 2080hrspermonth) /12 Note : some lenders use both Back and Front End Ratios, some lenders use either one. Also, the ratio can be understood (as higher) if you have better credit score (to waive this ratio if you don’t meet) 4) Capital (Cash Reserve) : Saving, Checking accounts, 401K, Mutual Funds, Cash ,etc… Lenders prefer to see at least 4 (or 6) x monthly mortgage payments in your bank account. Step 2 : CATEGORIZING BORROWER ------------------ we request from borrowers ---------------- Application Paystub Bankstatement W2 Asset 1) Full Doc yes 2 2 2 Optional 2) Stated Doc yes na 2 na yes No Ratio Doc These 2 categories are the same. They have JOB but not enough Income. Their Income needs to be adjusted for meeting Front/Back End ratio 3) No Income Full Asset yes na 2 na yes 4) No Income No Asset (NINA) yes na na na na No Doc No Income No Job No Asset (NINJA) These 3 categories are the same, depending on what lenders want to call, it’s just a terminology .
