Why is every single Stated Loan request fraud?
I now know why these are soon going to become extinct, and completely agree with what's going on.
They're garbage!
- A butcher making $45,000 dollars a month?
- A person buying an O/O home to be "closer to work" but the broker didn't think to check and see that the subject property is 32 miles from his work. 32 miles happens to be the exact distance of his current primary home to his work.
- Here's a good one: UNABLE TO GRANT TERMS REQUESTED. PROGRAM 1700 ALT-A SISA DOES NOT ALLOW DTI TO EXCEED 50%, BORROWERS DTI IS AT 52.26%. TRUST ONE RECEIVED A LOAN ON 02/29/08 FOR THE SAME BORROWERS THEIR STATED INCOME ON THE PREVIOUS LOAN WAS USED, BROKER SUBMITTED THE NEW LOAN WITH HIGHER INCOME. BORROWERS HAVE 59 CREDIT INQUIRIES ON BACK UP CREDIT REPORT IN PAST 90 DAYS.
- Another winner: BORROWER OWNS 2 ADDITIONAL PROPERTIES NOT DISCLOSED ON 1003 LOCATED AT 8639 NORTH **** AVE & 2417 ****** CLUB CT #4.
- Classic here: PER THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION THE BORROWERS SOCIAL SECURITY DOES NOT BELONG TO HIM. THE BORROWER WAS BORN IN 1967 & THE SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER HE USING WAS ISSED IN 1936-1951. SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS ARE NOT ISSUED BEFORE YOUR DATE OF BIRTH
Stated loans are going where they belong, with the Yugo and T-Rex! |

Those same lenders allowed this for at least the last five years......I agree with you, can't prove income, pretty hard to get a mortgage these days.

I agree with you 100% it's really sad however because there is a good use for them for the S/E borrowers who write off their income. The greedy tards ruin it for those who truly need a stated loan.

That's just it!
I'd say 30% of the stated submissions could go full doc with a high DTI, but nobody ever thought to run it that way. Or, they are letting the borrower dictate the transaction and don't push him to send in financials.
GARBAGE! I might fund 10 stated loans this month and I've had 104 tuned down. I make no promises to brokers when they submit their stated files, but I agree with the bankers, do what's profitable. Stated loans have a 200% default rate over full doc. Go figure.

| I think document waivers for high FICO, low risk customers are still desirable. There are people that have excellent scores and large down payments for whom dragging out 2 years of returns and 100 pages of statements is a pain in the @ss. Besides, the examples you gave didn't fly, although it would be preferable that brokers didn't clog the system with such garbage. It's a leftover of a mentality that is being forced to change. |

If I come to you looking to borrow $100,000 to $1M+ dollars, would you want to see my tax returns?

Yeah!
Broker: "Client can go full doc, but doesnt want to go through the hassle of getting his taxes to me"
Screw em!!
I want to go back to the 'Old Days' where the client gets his briefcase full of his personal documents and come down, sits in my lobby, and then meets over a desk and do it all by hand and pen and paper. No faxing, no emails, sit down, shut up and lets get you a loan.

This is true. Had one recently declined, stated/verified, income deemed unreasonable, and after pulling the 4506T the lender thought they were correct.
Owner of custom home builder, 14 yrs, 2 million in already owned real estate across 5 properties, 750 credit, 100K in bank accounts, spotless credit history with lines of 10K, 15K, 25K, etc, not to mention multiple mortgages of 300K, 400K, 500K.
Borrower was furious, he was the ideal stated borrower. Loan now back to same lender, full doc, with all 75 pages of personal and company tax returns.
Have fun guys! |

Travis Du Bois I have to mention one thing, if the self emplpyed borrowers actually paid their fair share then we would not have to worry about it.
I can't count how many times I have gotten tax returns for a customer who lives in a 500K house, drives a 80K truck, wife drives a 60K SUV, kids have cars and he claims a loss every year.
I am all for cutting taxes, but everyone has to pay their fair share. I am pumped about the loss of stated.
File your taxes correctly or don't get a loan.

I have only had one who wouldn't provide tax returns - big developer in TN; so we stated his income (which I had him confirm to me in writing - cover myself you know), got his loans approved. Then, a couple of mos. later I get a vm from him, "...I need you to call me. My wife and her attorney got a hold of the application for the loan and they want to know why and how I make so much money....."
So, I dig out my files and I am ticked that due to his domestic situation I now have extra work to do........but, as it turns out, he had applied with another broker and really inflated the income....again, I had him confirm my figures in writing. I emailed him so he would have my response in writing and told him my discovery and invited him and his wife's atty to contact the other broker......never heard from again. And, I wonder what happened to that broker? Too damned funny............
I can say those self employed persons I did write stated loans, truly did earn the income I stated.....
Even had one approved super jumbo. About 18 mos. later, they had met another broker which gave them big promises, they bought an investment property last Oct. (think of this timing), and that broker submitted the purchase loan to the same lender I did their primary residence with........yep, it got declined! They came back to me....I looked at the loan and told them to let the other broker keep it......I knew placing it would be difficult and it only took about 90 days to close. Whew! |

because desperate people do desperate things. If you were sitting on an Option ARM in Central Florida, or Clark County NV or Riverside, San Bernadino County CA that was getting ready to recast in 2009 and stated income was the way you got in and the only way you can refi out, chances are the application is gonna be a bit embellished.
Foreclosures or the threat of it will freak people out. Also CA like FL is a Stated Income State, thats how the Median Home price got up to $450k while the Median Income is $45k in Los Angeles. Do you think FHA or Barney Frank is gonna solve that problem??? That's some serious buyer disconnect numbers and I don't see a lot of Full Doc loans coming out of those numbers
Doesn't matter, someone w money and a brain will realize that there is a solid market for SIVA/SISA, 75%LTV, 700+FICO, O/O borrowers and will put a program together w some investors that will make them all a mint. That's what's great about this country, you can make a fortune off of other peoples/companies/industry's anxiety attacks and oversights. |

Don't throw us all in one basket.
I have never done a stated income, except in the case of an income waiver. However, with those I already have their correct income and run it that way to get the waiver in the first place so it is a moot point.
I am not the only one. In the company I work for we were NOT allowed to do stated unless it was through a waiver. We could do no ratios/no doc, with permission, as long as we knew it was affordable and there was a reason such as S/E, secondary income, etc. Still I would say between approximately 10 LO's we did less than 5 no ratios/no docs a year. The owner felt their was too much liability in stated because it is too easy for the LO to lie. He was not thrilled about no ratios or no docs but there was no liability of a false stated income on those. Sure we probably left a lot of money on the table, but we all did just fine and did not help create the problem we are seeing today. I am sure there are plenty others in the business who either didn't use them or at least used them more responsibly.

| It is a shame that the real borrowers who need stated can not get it due to all the crap that was pulled in the past. STATED INCOME IS NOT DESIGNED AS A WAY TO LIE ABOUT INCOME, IT IS A MEANS TO INPUT AN INCOME THAT THE BORROWER REALLY MAKES, BUT IS UNABLE TO DOCUMENT IT. |

| Maybe "Butcher" is code for hitman. I have to agree with the analysis of stated thus far. I can't tell you how fun it is to look at taxes for an approved loan, with $330K net income and pulling a 4506-T that shows $3K net income. There are borrowers with extenuating circumstances, but if you lie to the government, why should a lender believe you're not lying to them? |

There are still a handfull of banks out there that will do a loan with a DTI as high 64.99% on the backend. Some banks are now taking only 5% Down Payment on traditional Full Doc even in declining markets! Now if you can't get a Full Doc loan in with that kind of DTI, with the current home prices and the rates we have now then you need to find another job.....
Damn, it was 99 degrees in Oakland yesturday and well on its way there again today...

I've got no problem with stated if they are within reason. My nephew bartends at a nice restaurant on Friday and Saturday nights. It adds $600 CASH each week to his carpenter salary.
Every case is different and you should be able to spot the liars....then walk away. |

There are a lot of things you can do to deal with the "fraud" issue. 1. Turn them down. You have to close loans to make money. LO's that don't make money, don't stay in business. 2. Cut them off. If they lose the ability to lend, they don't stay in business. 3. File complaints. If they lose their license, they don't stay in business. 4. Audit files. If lenders buy back too many loans, they close their doors.
I don't believe the government or Fannie Mae is going to develop a fix that's easier than the things I've listed. There's no miracle cure. fraud will always be a challenge in our industry.
Also, be aware of your market. If you only want easy loans, you better have excellent pricing and great turn times. Because there are a lot of competitive lenders looking for this type of business now.
If you're priced less aggressively, you're going to get loans that need to be manually underwritten. These are going to have weird things going on and an added degree of difficulty.
Thanks, Matt |

A lot of LO's out there still believe that Self Employed means Stated. it pisses me off how they do not know how to read tax returns. definition of Full DOC: ACCEPTABLE DOCUMENTATION TO THE LENDER THAT PUTS THE BORROWER AT AN ACCEPTABLE DEBT RATIO TO THE INVESTOR. |

64.99% is insane too. after taxes you keep ten percent of your income? for an average 44k income, that mean 366 dollars a months to live off of, or 733 for dual income families. WTF? thats gas. note rising credit card defaults....
