Overview
Most traditional mortgage loans follow a strict set of standard guidelines which often require rigid qualifying metrics from a borrower. However, there are new loan programs that are designed around taking a more “common sense” approach. The Bluefire Community Mortgage loan is the perfect example of how a borrower can qualify for a mortgage loan with no income documentation (i.e. no tax returns, W2s, or pay stubs needed).
Program Details
The Bluefire Community Mortgage loan program qualifies applicants using three main metrics: Loan To Value (Property Collateral), Credit Profile (FICO credit scores), and available reserves/liquidity. One of the most notable aspects of this program is that there is NO debt-to-income ratio taken into qualifying consideration.
The total required reserves vary by each transaction from 12-24 months of the subject property’s total housing expense PITIA (principal, interest, taxes, insurance, & association dues). If you own other residential real estate with an existing mortgage(s) an additional 1.5% of the total outstanding principal mortgage balance is also required.
This loan program is available for purchases or refinances on either a primary or second home. The maximum loan amount that can be financed is $3,000,000 with a maximum loan-to-value ratio capped at 80%. The minimum credit score starts at 640 for purchase transactions and 660 for cash-out refinances.
