Asset Qualification Loans means the borrowers are qualified based on verified liquid assets.

Stated Income Loan is a mortgage where the lender does not verify the borrower’s income by looking at their pay stubs, W-2 (employee income) forms, income tax returns, or other records. Instead, borrowers are simply asked to state their income. To minimize the risk of default the lender requires the borrower(s) to put down 40%, or refinance the asset to 60% Loan-to-Value.
Blanket Loans are used to fund acquisition and refinance of multiple properties under one loan. Fixed rate financing is available up to 75% loan-to-value and interest only financing to 60% LTV.

Blanket loans are available as non-recourse meaning there is no personal income verification – lending decisions are based strictly on the cash flow generated from the properties.
FHA Loans are ideal for those with less-than-optimal credit, little-to-no formal credit history, or limited cash for a down payment. Low credit scores may not prevent you from qualifying; however, higher scores could net you lower interest rates. Fixed-rate periods range from 10 to 30 years.

Home Equity Loans offer flexibility to easily access available funds anytime within the first 5 years. Easily finance any purchase, consolidate debt, or fund home improvements.

Interest Only Loan is one in which the borrower has the option to pay only the interest on the principal amount borrowed for a predetermined period of time. This interest-only payment term is between 3 and 10 years. After the term is over, the payment converts to a principal and interest payment that is fully amortized over the remaining term of the mortgage.
Construction Loans are recourse in nature. The bank examines the equity in the land, the construction budget and the financial strength of the borrower to issue credit approval. A minimum net worth equal to the loan amount, good credit, 10% liquidity, and a solid builder’s resume is key. Rates range depending on the financial strength of the sponsor, or borrowing entity, experience, equity, liquidity and LTV/LTC. A fund control company is assigned to allocate and distribute the funds according to the approved budget by the bank. The assigned fund control company inspects completed work prior to issuing payment to the owner or builder.
