denied: That Darn Collection Account and Trying to get a Mortgage - 05/06/16 01:28 AM
Many times I will see a client with perfect credit and a random collection account pops up on their credit report. The majority of the time their reaction is of surprise and some choice words. As they did not know about it and rush to figure out what to do. Everyone’s situation is different but before you do anything about a collection account on your credit report it is important to know how it could affect your credit score and getting a mortgage. So I wanted to go over some points on what to do based on my experience when it … (2 comments)

During the summer of 2015, my girlfriend Amanda and I started the house hunt for our first home. We found the house of our dreams after a couple of months and submitted our best offer. We submitted all information the bank needed only to find out (1 week before closing) that my status in the USA ( a TN visa ) is not accepted by the underwriter. Everything fell apart. I had searched the internet endlessly to find a solution that might save our deal. I found David Krichmar that wrote about Canadians being approved for home loans in Texas. We … (0 comments)

When getting a mortgage your debt to income ratio is a major deciding factor on whether you get approved and for how much.  Your debt to income ratio is a calculation of your debts divided by your gross income(before taxes).  But there is more to your debt to income ratio, then just the calculation.  There is a couple major factors that go into qualifying your debt to income ratio(aka DR ratio).  Here is a list of the major items that make up your Debt to Income Ratio for your Mortgage:

David, We can never thank you enough for what you were able to do, to help make my families dreams come true. After spending over 2 months with another mortgage company.  And going through all the trouble to get them everything they requested time after time.  Just to be denied, was a huge blow to our hope.  And with the dead line that we were up against, not only were we on the verge of losing our earnest money.  We were going to lose our dream home. I still don't know how you were able to do it.  But we are forever grateful that … (0 comments)

"I used Dave the Mortgage Guy after I had been denied and worked over by another mortgage company. He worked with us to help us build up our credit score. Dave was there for the last year helping us navigate the loan process and even sped up our loan process when our builder tried to delay our closing date. Every time I had a question or concern I could reach him instantly either by phone or email. He made our loan experience an amazing and very informative experience! I would highly recommend him and have done so with my friends!"

denied: Have You been Denied for a Loan because of more than 4 Mortgages? - 09/20/12 03:30 AM
Have you been denied a loan because you have too many mortgages?  Many mortgage companies/Banks require that you do not have more than 4 financed properties(properties with mortgages).  This means you can own as many properties as you want but can not have more than 4 properties that have mortgages.   I am actually able to do loans even if you have more than 4 financed properties.  And can actually do a loan for someone who has up to 10 financed properties.  And if you need a mortgage for your primary home, it does not matter how many other mortgages you have … (0 comments)

denied: Know the Exact Guidelines for Disputed Accounts and Your Mortgage. - 07/08/11 05:47 AM
In the past I have written how Disputing your Credit Accounts can get your mortgage denied.  Since that time the lenders and government have come out with specific rules on Disputed accounts.  You still do not want to dispute your accounts.  The reason why disputed accounts is a problem, is because when you dispute an account it takes it out of you credit score.  So you could dispute a bunch of bad accounts and your credit score would increase.  But mortgage underwriters know this is a just a form of "cheating" to get a higher credit score.  And this is why … (2 comments)

denied: Do NOT Dispute Your Credit Accounts If You Want A Mortgage! - 02/07/11 05:41 AM
Recently, Mortgage Underwriting Guidelines have changed.  You can no longer have a disputed account on your credit report and get approved for a mortgage.  It must be removed, in order to get approved.  When you have a disputed account it is taken out of the scoring model, causing the underwriter to not get a fair and complete picture of your credit situation.  You must get this disputed account removed before the file goes into underwriting or before you can close on your mortgage.  Keep in mind the process of removing a disputed account can take 30-60 days.  Here is my suggested … (0 comments)
