Two for Tuesday – Guideline Week!

Video Leave a comment

#TwoforTuesday – #GuidelineWeek – This week, I go over some of the most commonly asked questions.  Today I review conventional LTV limits, and funny enough I get an email last night asking for the LTV on a REFI for an investment property.  The conventional limits, and non-agency limits on LTV /FICO are on matrices openly published and can be accessed WITHOUT a password.

Want to see them? – CLICK HERE! In today’s show I go over Bankruptcy and Foreclosure guidelines for you all on conventional loans.  When it comes to “Non-Agency” the guidelines are driven highly by FICO, but comparing the Fannie Mae matrix versus non-qm, you can see a 5% increase in most buckets for LTV.  Answering my Broker’s question, 75% LTV refi on Conventional, and with a high enough FICO up to 80% LTV refi on non-agency for investment property Rate and Term transactions. ↓

Ton’s more #JUICE all week long.  Tomorrow we’ll visit FHA guides more and I’ll alternate products all week to get the important “most frequently asked questions” out of the way.  I ♥ “I gotta guy” questions and can’t wait to help you with your most recent scenario.  🙂

Thursdays Thoughts – Spreading the Love – Advertising Rules!!

Video Leave a comment

#ThursdaysThoughts – Spreading the ♥ – Advertising Rules!  Happy Valentines Day everyone! This segment is stemmed from RE Agents posting payments or down payment or something that caused them to be non-compliant last week and I mentioned something about it.  There’s a lot that goes into this is my first disclaimer.  But you have to start with basics.  Understand the “trigger” words and what causes you to have to have APR disclosed.  Understand the basics of what any housing and or mortgage advertisement should have on it.  Understand what your targeting should INCLUDE to be compliant, because not including certain discriminatory things could make your segmenting OUT OF COMPLIANCE.

There is A LOT that goes into this “advertising game”.  And if you’re an LO using FB to “boost ads” you should know what your landing pages have to have on them and what targeting you need to include.  I can provide all types of in depth help on this.  But many just don’t know where to start.  The best thing to do is start with your personal profile and make sure you have your contact information, license & NMLS number, as well as company information on it.  Second, make a business page for yourself and put all of the mentioned items on your page for viewing.  Remember the trigger words and items to avoid having APR full disclosure and stay away from mentioning them.  Be fun, be yourself and start branding who you are.

Many do this WRONG all the time.  It’s important to know how to “Spread the Love” correctly on social media.  Especially when it comes to the protected classes with segmenting.  **This is why organic posts that you push and pull without direct targeting is important.  I’d LOVE ♥ LOVE to teach you.  If interested check out #TheBluePrint 3 day workshop I have for LO’s to get started online.

I’m a wholesale lender, and I don’t “advertise” towards consumers, I advertise towards #MortgageBrokers for relationships, but some of the same stuff applies to me.  Just know the trigger words and what would cause the need for additional disclosures to be added.  Get SIGNED UP to partner with a mortgage company with Niche programs to help you close more loans! #EqualHousingLender  🙂

Two 4 Tuesday – VA changes you need to know!

Video Leave a comment

#Two4Tuesday – VA changes you need to know! There is (on Friday) two new types of VA loans.  VA type 1 and VA type 2 when it comes to VA refinances.  (The old “cash-out” loan) – And with this change there are some key things to know about.  Several new guidelines for VA loans and updates I detail in today’s show! ↓ It’s longer today guys and gals, but worth the watch! ↓↓

If you have any “leads” into the new form for showing options for the client I’d be interested to know what you’re using.  You would think that if VA says you need to disclose a comparison of options to the clients, they would INCLUDE that in the VA circular.  Nope.  Didn’t happen.  But hey it is what it is.  How are you going to show options?  Send a note, make a comment, message me, I’d ♥ to know what you’re doing.

And of course I do VA.  I love helping Vets, and we do them very well.  #GetOnPoint with #BluePointMtg and use us for your VA loans.  We go down to 550 FICO, have no manual underwriting hit to pricing, and we will send a file out to a local VA office if needed.  (Happens when two unmarried Vets are on a loan).  #LetsDoBusiness –

Two for Tuesday – Departing Primary and Identity of Interest Transactions!

Video Leave a comment

#TwoforTuesday – Departing primary and identity of interest transactions guidelines on today’s guideline episode! Check it out, lots of questions regarding these two things right at the beginning of the year.  Seems many people are “moving up” or “down-sizing” and want to either rent out their existing home and buy new, or sell their current home to their kids for example.

Departing primary, best thing to remember here, is if the new home is less than 100 miles away and the client wants to retain and rent out their departing primary residence then go conventional.  It’s allowed.  When it comes to selling your home to a family member, assuming it’s a primary residence of say “Mom and Dad” and they want to sell it to JR.  (The Son or Daughter) Then as long as the kid has not “moved back in” then you can sell the home without LTV restriction.  Once the kid has moved in, they have to pay rent for 6 months in order to buy the home.  Seek professional advice from your local Mortgage broker prior to having a bunch of people move.  🙂

This THURSDAY – I’m doing what will be an #EpicWebinar for LO’s to learn how to gain more leads on social platforms, and how to increase referral partners using information that you already have!  It’s a full monte how to #Brand webinar that I will do inside of 30 minutes.  You’re not going to want to miss the JUICE flowing in this.  Plus for all those that show up I’ll be giving away the #10DaysofPain follow up sequence.  A proven set of emails to use when following up that convert!

Two for Tuesday – Collections and Disputes on FHA!

Video Leave a comment

#TwoforTuesday – Back to basics as a reminder in the new year, Collections and Disputes on FHA are covered today!  Know this off the top of your head.  There is magic numbers to both of these, know them, and if the net amount on any credit report is less than the magic number ignore it and run it through DU.

FHA is a strong suit of mine, and I’ve always excelled at getting these done.  We have 203B, and 203H FHA loans, as well as CalHFA opportunity for those in California.  In all reality any FHA loan can be accompanied by some DPA, just LO’s don’t look them up.  If you find one that will meet us at the table with the money, run it by me, odds are we can do it.  Here’s a website to help you find them; http://www.downpayment.org

I’m growing and helping brokerages grow too.  Do you have a want to hire more LO’s this year?  Let’s chat, we can talk strategy for that.  Do you want to start an online presence or make the one you have actually get you names, phone numbers and emails?  We can do that too!  All I ever look to do is help on a few loans here and there.  (Small piece of the pie) #LetsDoBusiness – Take the 10 minutes it takes to print sign and send back a 12 month committment to do business.  At which point I’ll earn my right to stay in your lending arsenal.  I’ll add that much value, that’s a promise.  CLICK HERE

Two for Tuesday -Important Dates

Video Leave a comment

#TwoforTuesday – Important Dates! My appraisal connections will appreciate this.  Today I go over important dates on the documents of a mortgage and how long they are good for.  This is measured from last date on the documents to the note date.  I ♥ guidelines and will promise to continue to detail my scenarios and guideline experiences as we grow and do business in 2019!

Today, I am going to simplify the mortgage process by going over how old any one thing can be.  Title, Assets, Income, Appraisal, Credit all have time frames for which the documents that make up a mortgage can expire.  These are you important dates to remember! ↓

Plan and simple, I want to help you get PAID!  Two for Tuesday right! I want to help you complete a loan and we can help you #GetOnPoint by having #BluePointMtg disclose for you.  We need these simple 5 things!  ↓

Oh and of course if you want to partner with us to just that (get paid on a loan that closes) feel free to CLICK HERE!!

Wiser Wednesday -The well rounded LO!

Video Leave a comment

#WiserWednesday – The well rounded LO in 2019 will be the one that grows the most.  Regardless of rates, it’s always about guidelines and knowing how the deals “come together.”  Last year I will tell you I was amazed at how many LO’s and Broker’s just passed a file on to processors and didn’t actually do any approving work.

You know, the act of uploading a file somewhere and running an AUS to determine approval.  Let alone manipulating that approval.  Some LO’s have no clue.  This is what is going to be the difference maker in 2019 for LO’s.  Knowing how to structure deals, gain approvals, manipulate those approvals and straight up look at a 1008 and determine if you have even have anything to begin with.  I think in many cases LO’s waste time passing on files when they can be learning more themselves on what’s approve-able and what’s not.

No doubt doing loans is an art.  And if you’re going to succeed in 2019, the biggest thing you need to be doing is understanding guidelines and how loans come together.  #GetWiser!

If you want guidance as a LO/Broker on how to run AUS and what is going to be approved reach out to me.  I coach LO’s all day long.  Let’s do business in 2019 – CLICK HERE!
