Please HELP with a high LTV HELOC

Guest

I am looking to get a HELOC at above 90% LTV. The property is free and clear and was purchased in 09/2007 in Pennsylvania. My credit scores are in the high 700s.
Ideally, I would prefer a no doc/stated income loan, but my understanding is that this might not be available anymore.
Does anyone know which banks might be able to help me?

Thanks,
Simon

Welcome Simon,

Are you a self-employed person? I ask this because no-doc loans are for those who don't earn regular salary.

There are lenders offering stated income Heloc at 90% LTV and above but they would ask for pretty good credit scores..FICO scores somewhere around 700 and above which you do have. So it won't be a problem finding such lenders.

There are even plenty of lenders out there in this community. And, they have been offering mortgage help to people having different requirements. So, you can request them for quotes but prior to that feel free to seek no-obligation free counseling from the community lenders. I think it will help you decide upon the right loan offer.

Thanks

Sd, why do you think you won't get stated income loans? have you approached some lenders regarding this?

Stated you will be limited to 90% or in declining market areas to 85%. No doc 75% is max. You need full doc to go 95%-100%.

Thanks for your reply, Adonis. I phoned Chase (I've used them before for a stated 100% loan) and was told that they cannot do more than 75%.
Do you know which lenders I can contact for such a loan?
Thanks,

Simon

Thanks for your reply, Eugene.
I can add my wife on the app and use her income to get above 90% LTV. Can I do stated for my income together with her full doc portion of our income?
Do you know who, if not you, might help us?
Sincerely,

Simon

Hi Sd,

welcome back to the forums.

I feel you can use your spouse's income to get above 90%. Then she will have to be the cosigner and along with her income, lenders will also consider her credit as well. But is your spouse self-employed?

Eugene is it necessary for the spouse to be a self-employed person?

God bless you.

Hi,

The spouse willing to cosign need not have to self-employed.

But sd, what you can do is, send in your request for mortgage quotes to some lenders and see what they can offer you. You can even send us your request for free quotes so that we can pass it on to selected ranked community lenders. This will help the lenders understand your requirements and then they can offer you the quotes depending upon whether they can match their profiles with your requirements. And, if they are able to do so, they shall contact you asap with the free mortgage quotes.

After comparing the quotes, you can decide upon the best loan offer. You can even discuss the offers here in our forums and take suggestions from the community regarding which is the best for you.

good luck

I need either a stated income HELOC for 250K or a loan on undeveloped land.
Any chance ?
FICO around 700

Welcome Bill James,

I think you can get a HELOC with stated income. You can consult the brokers of your area and get to know the market situation. You can also contact the lenders of this community to get a no-obligation free mortgage quote. This will also help you to know the market situation. You can then compare various offers and go for the one you can afford.
