There are lenders out there from A paper to hard money who do not require borrower to sign the form IRS 4506T and will not even put the form into the loan documents.
Do you know them? Please help in constructing this list. I will start with one lender I know"

Rob, I think that although we L/Os exercise due diligence in examining the tax returns, W-2s/paystubs, 1099's, etc., we don't really know if our borrowers are working in cahoots with their CPAs or tax preparers. Also, many borrowers who are on W-2s do have Schedule C whereby they own partnerhsips or businesses that write off their W-2 incomes. I recently had a borrower who is employed by a well established Fortune 500 company with perfect W-2s/paystubs and 401(K). His loan was approved and docs signed. It went into funding and the lender pulled the 4506T and found out that he writes off his wage earner's incomes for 2006 and 2007 substantially from losses in his Schedule C and therefore funding was denied. I am glad that the lender denied funding before funding it and sending it to their investor because the loan could come back to haunt me as a buyback claim since Line No. 5 of the 4506T allows any third party to execute it postclosing.
So, especially in real estate purchase transactions whereby the buyer's deposit could be forefeited once the loan contingency -- usually 14 to 21 days -- is signed off and the 4506T aborted funding in the fina hour. We do have one purchase transaction in trouble right now because of this.
Therefore, while we do our utmost to exercise our due diligence, it might be practical to send critial purchase or refi loans to lenders who do not require 4506T at all, like most banks used to du (incuding World Savings) before the current upheaval.

A Paper is going to pretty much require it if it being sold to Fannie, Freddie or Ginne Mae
FHA loans are going to require it for the same reason
VA loans are requiring it now also |

Paul, but how come ING Bank (www.ingloans.com) does not do it. They must have good business reasoning behind it. I know that ING loans are all portfolio loans. I used to be informed by an A/E from Home Savings of America in Torrance, CA that they don't require 4506T to be signed by borrower either on 1 particular program which is an in-house portfolio loan. But I have yet to update this info with the current A/E.
I have done some hard money loans and I did not see any 4506T form among the loan docs that my customers had to sign. Still, I think hard money lenders do not require the 4506T because it is a straight equity-based loan.

And what would be wrong to offer to your 4506-averse borrower that "Sir, if you do not wish to sign the 4506, you can only go with 1-2 lenders that do not require it at the rates that I will quote you as follows....."
"And if you can't meet the rates, the only last option is to take a 12% home equity credit line with 6 months prepay to get the cash you need, and you can have it as a 2nd loan or the new first refi loan at your choice."
Those who are averse to 4506 will just have to pay the price.

If your borrower was W2 the 4506 would show his gross earnings stated on the app , I dont think whoever is looking at the 4506 is getting into the taxable income of your borrower and if they had carry over losses from 3 years ago , something else must have been wrong with the income stated , 95% of consumers that are self employed , if you ask them " Whats your gross monthly income " they will tell you exactly that , they dont know and should not be expected to know that if tax returns are required the UW will go off taxable income .
Lets say you made 1 M last year , but through a good CPA , you paid taxes on 100,000 K , so you state you make around 80K per month , if a 4506 was pulled after closing , would you have a problem if the returms show 1M gross income ? |

It was not a carryover loss. It was a $19K loss on her schedule C in 2006 and $9K loss in 2007 that made the lender aborted the funding.
Borrower did not disclose to me that she also owns a partnership to write off losses on her wage earner incomes. I should have asked but seeing her as a perfect salaried borrower I concluded wrongly that her loan was not sweat and I was wrong.

Nick, my borrower was primarily a salaried wage earner and I took the app. from her as a wage earner, full doc, giving the W-2s and paystubs with my submission. The underwriter who first approved the loan based on her qualified wage earner income explained to me that borrower;s W-2 incomes, after the Schedule C tax losses, were not what were stated and what were on the W-2s for 2006 and 2007.
Did she have any basis for denying the funding, or she was just afraid that she might not be able to sell the loan?

You answered your own question on ING and Hard Money but left out one important item.
They are not selling the loan on the secondary market. A portfolio lender or hard money lender is the one writing the check and write their own rules.
And your item about giving your borrower a choice after you review the income sounds like a good idea.
It is a good idea to get tax returns on W2 individual that list their employment as a sales type or account executive.

| Ray's right, Peter. Very few prime lenders are doing any porfolio now because their primary in some cases sole investor is Fannie or Freddie who requires the 4506T be executed. I ran into the same problem you did and found out on the day of settlement what shenanigans my client was really up to with regards to the IRS. Like you said, even though the hard work was put in so you could get paid, this may have been the difference between a small commission and a large buy-back. |

Even if your lender executed the 4506T and funded the loan, it does not mean that you will be out of trouble. This is because your lender may have a tolerance level (like Wells which has a 19% deviation allowed for discrepancies in incomes verified from the 4506T and the incomes on the W-2s or tax returns) but the investor they will have sold the loan to may not allow that same tolerance level. Let's say Wells sells the loan to Countrywide Bank and as an investor CW use the privilege of Line No. 5 to pull 4506T one more time (Line No. 5 allows any third party to execute the 4506 one more time) and since CW does not allow any tolerance leve, the loan could come back to Wells and then come back to your broker and you as the originator.
Also, the first lender who approved your loan and funded it might have just looked at whether the borrower filed her tax as self employed or wage earner and did not really scrutinize the details of AGI as to where they come from or the lines of Schedule C's and the Schedule E's, resulting in authorized funding the loan that should have been stopped. And when the loan comes back to you from the investor who discovered that the loan should not have been funded or the loan could not be pooled into REITs, then your broker and finally yourself will get the hit.
There is no need to be "unprofessinal" by being angry with a legitimate post. If I had a dishonest intention, I could have kept it to myself without discussing this important issue and its ramifications fully among us, who are supposed to be "civilized" enough to discuss the topic in an unemotional and professional manner.
Those who cannot be professional and deliver unfair conclusions and personal attacks on the legitimate poster should have no place on the Broker Outpost.

>>>>$9K loss in 2007 that made the lender aborted the funding.
Was DTI tight for the $750/mth loss to kill deal or something else? |

| No 4506T is an invitation to commit fraud. Suppose someone doctors the w-2 and paystubs. |

you can me to the list of Lenders that execute the 4506t. i am glad we do, we just caught one fraud file. it works, i bet your broker is glad we are excuting it. i heard this story a few days ago, a file was reject after 4506t came back differnet than returns in the submission file. when borrower was questioned they said they have two sets of returns one for loans the other for the IRS. broker funded 4 loans in the last 4 yrs on fraud 1040s.

Stephen, it was both the 19K loss in 06 Sch. C and 9K loss in 07 Sch. C that killed the deal.

That is true, but it is a two-way mirror. For those who want to protect themselves against loan buybacks they can be absolutely certain that no loan buyback will result. To prevent fraud, the broker should use Verifax or wait for few days to pull the result of the 4506 if theamounts of tax returns/ paystubs are truly reported on the 1040's transcripts. And the upfront costs should be paid by the borrower after explaining to her that this is to protect her from future troubles with the law.
If it is too much to ask the borrower to pay for the veritax, there is another option -- send the file to the chosen lender whose practice is to pull the 4506 T for result prior to approval. This will work. Lenders like Provident Bank do this all the time with all files, wheether full doc or stated income and this saves the broker and the L/O from troubles.
With the takeover of Fannie and Freddie, there will be a new team of outside auditors for sure and the loan buyback claims from Fannie and Freddie will further increase as they are going to clean the ship and tighten the sail.

| If you notice dum-dum deal makers first post on B/O was negative and uninformative. Why do they let these folks on the blog anyway? It didn't used to be this way. Final note: If you can't help someone with their deal then keep your comments to yourself and find something else to do. This is a site for PROFESSIONALS!!! |
