Just received an e-mail this morning...

It looks like the sub-prime lenders are starting to slowly come back......almost as slowly at 1st as they left! They are definately tougher, and their rates a bit higher, but...... theyyyyy'rrrrrrre baaaaaacccckkkkkk.

:-)

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.

Some things haven't changed

Our product menu may be different now, but we think you'll appreciate a few important things that haven't changed:

  • Stable, committed leadership - The team that steered our company through the turbulence of the late ‘90s and the challenges of this year remains at the helm following the merger with Lone Star.
  • Knowledgeable and professional account executives - We've retained the best and brightest of our sales force so we can grow our businesses together.
  • A commitment to industry-leading turn times - Our inside teams understand the importance of exceeding customer expectations at every step of the loan process.
  • Convenient and easy-to-use technology - Our FRONTDOOR® system offers quick, efficient and reliable underwriting and loan tracking, all at your fingertips 24/7.

We are here to help...with a wide range of solutions for your borrowers and a commitment to your success.  All from a lender who has been there in the past and will be there in the future: Accredited Home Lenders.

10 Comments on Sub-Prime lenders coming back!

Kris, Great info to be passed on. I know I received an email from them as well. It is nice to see things coming back. Competition is a good thing

Wow, awesome information!! Lets hope it is true.. This time around, I am sure they'll offer common sense underwriting and programs that will not hurt their borrowers.. Did you hear anything on prepayment penalties being abolished?

Thanks!

Yes indeed they are back - I heard a radio commercial for refinance.com - I tried to call for more details but was put on hold so long I gave up.

Kris, would you be so kind to forward that email to me? jsheppard@besstitle.com. We have 90-100 brokers that could utilize AHL.

Thanks so much!

90% Max has been there all along.

Jason - Pre-pays are going to depend on the rate and on what state you are in. In ILlinois, you cannot have a PPP on any loan that has a rate of 8% or greater. E-mail coming with the AE contacts for ya.

Kris, I expect the mortgage companies will expect a little more payback power from their clients than they did in the past.

The lenders are back, but they are a bit stricter these days.....and gone are the days of a 1st time homebuyer going stated with a 580 FICO!
