Proud to be here With the completion of our recent merger, Accredited is now a part of the Lone Star family. This gives us a new source of capital to grow our business. Armed with Lone Star's backing, we are ready to move forward - with a new menu of products and a continuing focus on service and quality. The mortgage market we're re-entering looks vastly different, with a more select pool of customers, more prudent product qualification requirements and far fewer brokers and lenders. We were able to survive the storm that created this landscape because of the actions we took in the years leading up to it - and importantly, by meeting our financial obligations even as the market challenges continued. Yet we emerge a stronger company, having navigated through some very hard times. Going forward, we're convinced that opportunity abounds for those of us who believe in doing right by the customer. We're proud to be here and ready to do business! The new non-conforming Accredited's new non-conforming menu looks different from the sub-prime offerings of years past. We've designed it for creditworthy borrowers that just miss agency underwriting guidelines - for reasons like larger loan sizes, non-traditional asset types or occasional credit blemishes. Take a look at what our guidelines include: - Loan amounts up to $750,000
- LTV up to 90%
- No mortgage insurance
- Financing for 525 FICO and above
- Various doc types, including bank statement and stated options
- Interest only and 40-year terms available
- Cash out options
- Financing for non-owner occupied properties
Your Accredited account executive can help you find the right product to meet your qualified borrower's needs.
