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!!

Have you tried US Bank? Their flyer says 100% even in declining markets.

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;
