&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do you think you qualify for a stated loan?&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; If you have a very good credit score and a low LTV on&amp;nbsp; your property then you may be able to acquire a stated loan.&amp;nbsp; Be prepared to show proof of reserves for 3-6 months.&amp;nbsp; Lenders that are still doing stated loans are verifying that you will be able to make your first few mortgage payments.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Due to&amp;nbsp; mortgage abuse (which led to the crisis), lenders that are still offering stated programs have really tightened their belts.&amp;nbsp; Lets face it borrowing is not what it used to be.&amp;nbsp; but then again the lenders are not who they used to be either.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stated mortgages are still available but you must be prepared.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you can provide full docs, it will still get you the best rates.&amp;nbsp; Also with full docs FHA loans will still get you some of the best rates around.&lt;/p&gt;
