Like 0 Dislike 0 Hi, I live in Dallas and I am looking to buy a property for my primary residence in the $500-600K range. I can't really document my income, but I am willing to put down as much as 50% ($250-300K). I want to keep a low monthly payment, I don't like to have a lot of debt and I have no better use for this cash right now. I manage/trade an investment portfolio for a living, so my income varies greatly from month to month. I have about 1.2 million in liquidable assets, zero debt and a 780 credit score. What are the mortage options I am looking at : rate, type of loan (30 year fixed, ARM, interest only), etc...? What would be best suited for my situation ? There are so many options and variables that sometimes I feel like my head is going to explode... Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge _________________ Need help choosing the right loan?

Your credit score and income seems good but you should shop a bit for lenders to get best option. If you want the property for longer period of time then you can choose 30 year FRM. But if you want to move out from this property after two or five years or you don't have good income and expect a raise in your income in near future then ARM is a good option for you. BTW you can get No-obligation free consultation from the community lenders by just filing the form at http://www.mortgagefit.com/ Feel free to ask if you have any farther questions. Best of luck, Larry

Most lenders offering no doc loans prefer 25% down payment and if you put down 50% then that's too good. It may help you in getting a lower rate comparatively than what can usually get on a no doc loan. Your credit score is also well above 700 so that will work in your favor. You do have a good amount of assets, so everything seems ok. Now, if your income is variable, I suggest you go for a fixed rate loan, if not 30 year then a 15 year loan. However, you need to check by how much your income varies and depending upon that you can go for an ARM too provided you don’t wish to stay long in this property. By the way, are you self-employed? You'll have to show bank statements, tax returns for the past 2 years and profit and loss statements if you're self-employed. You should be able to list your assets and debts. That's because the lender would like to calculate your debt to income ratio. But, would you be able to document your assets, if not income? Regards, Jessica. _________________ http://jessica.mortgagefit.com/

I can document my assets and show my bank statements and W2 for the past 2 years, but my W2 doesn't show much income as I had a lot of gains that were offsetted by deductions and older losses. I plan to stay in the property for probably 5 to 10 years. So how much more should I expect to pay compared to a fully documented mortgage ?

The lender/broker making the offer will calculate it for you. If he doesn't request him to show you the calculations of the monthly payments.

To my knowledge there is no such thing as a no income verification loan. If you are self employed you could get a stated income loan. Being w-2 and having to go stated creates a challenge. World Savings is one of the only lenders I know of still doing this and from what I heard they will be eliminating that program this month. If you hurry you may be able to get your loan in with them before it's cut off. They have the 30 year pick a pay loan. I believe they require 20% down for owner occupied stated loans. It could be 25% so don't quote me on that. I'd have to call my AE and find out. _________________ Chris Burns Five Stars Mortgage, LLC Office: 800-871-2636 ext. 200 Cell: 407-456-3697 Florida Mortgage Five Stars Mortgage On Facebook
