Total Gross Monthly
Income
Please enter the total monthly income for the
borrower and co-borrower.
You can count as income not only your steady
employment but also:
- Overtime bonus and commissions (average for
one - two years);
- Net income from self employment;
- Social security, veteran's benefits and
retirement;
- Alimony, child support and income from
public assistance programs;
- Workmans's compensation or permanent
disability payments;
- Interest and dividend income;
- Rental income after deducting expenses and
debt payments;
- Income from trusts, partnerships,
professional corporations and so on.
The income can be derived from several
sources, but it must be supported by documentation and have a high
likelihood of continuation.
Total Monthly Debt
Your regular monthly debts and obligations
may include monthly payments on:
- Other real estate loans;
- Installment loans (bank loans, auto loans,
tuition loans, etc);
- Revolving accounts;
- Child support and alimony paid to a former
spouse.
Include only debt obligations that won't be
paid off within the next 10 months. Do not include current rent or other
housing expenses, such as utilities, telephone, insurance, etc. Also do not
include payments on rental real estate loans that have been deducted from
rental income.
Occupancy
Select how your property will be occupied.
Investment Property is a property that is not occupied by the owner and in
most cases produces income or is held for gains from appreciation.
Second home, or vacation home, is different from an investment property as
it is not rented, but used occasionally by the owners. If you rent out your
vacation home for any period of time at all, it's investment property.
- Self Employed
Please indicate if you are self employed. If you
own 25% or more of the company by which you are employed, you are considered
self employed for loan purposes. If you own 100% of a company but you do not
work for that company, you are NOT self-employed.
It does not impact your ability to get a loan
because you are self employed. However there are a few differences in how
loans are processed and underwritten for self-employed borrowers. A
self-employed borrower requires a little more documentation than a salaried
person. As a rule a lender will want copies of last two years of business
and personal (if different) tax returns and a year-to-date profit and loss
statement.
Downpayment
Enter how much cash or liquid assets you have
available for down payment to purchase your home. Funds for down payment
normally are required to be documented and verified as your own.
Source of Funds for
Downpayment
These funds can be from cash savings &
checking accounts, proceeds from the sale of current home, bridge loan, gift
money, etc. Bonds and securities with the current market price can also be
used for down payment.
Note: Gift funds may only come from a family member and must not have any
repayment requirements.
Bankruptcy
There are several types of Bankruptcies (chapter
7,9,11,13, etc). If you have filed a bankruptcy within the past seven years
please select "YES".
Current Mortgage
Balance
Please enter the amount you owe on your home
loan. Your lender can provide you with an up-to-date mortgage balance, or
you may use our Mortgage Payment
Calculator to calculate it.
