Non-Conventional Mortgage Loans Are Making a Comeback…
Non-conventional mortgage loans are getting funded again.
What We Know:
Finally, we’re seeing an influx of non-conventional mortgage loans being funded. Hopefully, this positive change is bringing some relief to both investors and their buyers who don’t fit neatly into the conventional mortgage lending box.
Mortgage loans in this lending bucket typically do not require tax returns but rely on bank statements or leases for income.
Even though some are back, requirements for securing these loans have increased and are a little harder to obtain. The majority of the lenders have a starting point of a max 65% LTV and a credit score of 700+. The good news is the rates have not skyrocketed. There are now lenders lending who had previously been turning away would-be investors.
There’s a light at the end of the lending tunnel again.
The Takeaway:
We are on the road to lending opening back up. The economic restrictions and resulting uncertainty appear to be lessening. Apparently, to the point where lenders are feeling confident enough to begin closing riskier deals again.
Make no mistake, it will be a slow process. But there appears to be a light at the end of the COVID lending tunnel. Stay tuned as we provide continuing outlook updates over the course of the coming weeks.
