In this video I discuss how Envoy Mortgage has rolled out their own FHA 203k Streamline product that is funded by Envoy and the servicing rights retained by Envoy.  This means Envoy Mortgage has control of the process form start to finish and beyond.  Servicing means you will make your payments to Envoy and not have your loan sold around to other lenders.  Let me know what you think by leaving comments below and sharing with your communities.

Matt Steinmetz talks about using asset accounts, that you may draw on, to help qualify for a mortgage.  If you have high net worth or a lot of cash in the bank, it is possible to use that as potential income for qualifying for a mortgage.

To some it’s obvious and to others it’s not, but the following items are critical during the loan process.  If you have questions about these or are in the middle of your loan process and have to do one of these let me, or your loan officer know (always tell your loan officer) so you can be sure you are not affected negatively.

IMPORTANT

It is critical to the success of your loan package that you avoid doing any of the following until after your loan has closed escrow:

1. Do not change or quit jobs.

2. Do not switch banks, make cash deposits or move your money around.  If you do please keep a complete crystal clear paper trail that shows all money transfers and deposits between accounts.

3. Do not pay off bills. You should continue to pay the amount required, but do not assume that paying a debt off will alwasy benefit your score or loan approval.

4. Do not make any major purchases.  Adding debt can be detrimental.

5. Do not close credit accounts or apply for any new credit cards or loans.

If you must do any of the above, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOAN OFFICER IMMEDIATELY. Audits are done just prior to funding and you may be placing your loan in jeopardy if you do not notify your lender of any changes.

Hope that helps!  Please share and leave comments here.

The following items are normally needed during the loan process.  Your lender may require more or less but this gives you a basic idea of what to expect.  All of these items may not apply to you, for example if you are not divorced you can ignore that requirement.

• Most current paycheck stubs (cover 30 days) for all jobs, disability, etc
• W-2 or 1099s for years 2009 and 2010 for all employers and all income received
• Complete copies of your Federal tax returns with all of the schedules for 2009 and 2010 (page 2 signed)
• Divorce decree/marital property settlement or Legal Separation paperwork if applicable
• Most recent 3 months bank statements for all bank accounts (all pages)
• Current quarterly statements of investment accounts (retirement, 401K’s) (all pages) if being used for down payment, reserves, or for paying closing costs
• Complete bankruptcy papers, including final discharge document if applicable
• Landlord name, address and phone number for last 2 years (if you rent)
• Proof of current homeowner’s insurance policy on your home
• Mortgage statement for your Current Mortgage(s) (for all properties) and all houses
