Having trouble placing this scenario...
FTHB, My Community or Flex 100, Florida SFR, Full Doc-744 mid score.
Problems-zip code is Broward County (Cooper City/Fort Lauderdale) and keep getting zapped on 5% reduction in ltv due to declining market. Back end ratio is 61% and hoping to find where seller cc can be 5-6% rather than 3%.
Any suggestions??? Thanks!! |

| U.S. Bank will not do the loan thier max back end ratio is 50%, plus they are now doing the 5% reduction like every one else |

go FHA for the 6% and get around the declining mkt, submit it to Flagstar manual U/W and see what you need to pay off to get the back end ratio down to an acceptable level. With a 744 I would think they have some reserves |

They are only doing the reduction for correspondant lenders. Retail they will still do max LTV |

Thanks for the input.....
She is a single mom, has 3 open active trade lines and one of them is a lease with Honda Financial ($388.00 per month)and it would require her turning in her car early with a penalty. The other two have payments of $15 and $23 per month. If we turned in the car, her ratios would certainly qualify her for FHA.
Any thoughts on adding a non-occupying co-borrower to add income---the trick on that is the non-occupying co-borrower has a primary residence and two rental properties already.
Thanks!!! |

I'm moving into unchartered waters but try this. Go to the Honda dealer refi the lease into a 10 mo loan which won't count against her DTI. I don't know if that'll work or what the PPP is on Honda's early lease termination, but hey, it's fun to think outside the box sometimes |

yeah, DON'T Do it! You are looking at scr*wing up a really good, almost closed loan. Have the potential co-borrower gift her the 5% she needs instead.
OR, You might be able to beat the 5% issue (IS She a 1st time buyer?) w/an 80/15/5 via WF. They "might" do this in FL, certainly w/that CS. Going 80/20 or 80/15/5 would keep her out of PMI as well, however she HAS to have the 5% in onhand reserves or Gift Letter, bring it to closing, it's rolled into the 15 when becomes a 20 3 business days later w/a rebate check waiting at title company for borrower. This is ONLY for 1st time buyers, fyi; |
