Whacked Out Wednesday – The rule of 5! (FHA effective income guidelines)

#WhackedOutWednesday – The rule of 5 I go over today.  The way’s to use the various forms of income and what’s considered effective income and what’s not.  The “whacked out” part is that many LO’s don’t know how to calculate effective income.  The salary is the salary, the hourly income can vary.  And if it does there’s a rule I go over for this.  The VOE is king.  The paychecks are a supporting document, not what determines income.

The biggest thought is that you need two years for all of the 5 type of incomes.  Bonus, Over-Time, Commission, Self-Employment and Second jobs.  When in reality there’s only one of these that you really need a full two year uninterrupted period of receiving.  Find out more in today’s video! ↓

We go by the guidelines and I’m here to help you structure these deals to get them done.  The rule of 5 is great to know, and every LO out there should know how to calculate the effective income.  To many times there’s just some snag somewhere that the LO didn’t realize.  My goal is to eliminate that with these guideline videos and help all get more loans done.  In fact I encourage you to get on point, with BluePoint! We are a growing National wholesale mortgage bank, we are broker friendly and have several niche’ products.  FHA/VA are for sure sweet spots.  SIGN UP HERE! 

As always I’m here for any – “I gotta guy” questions.

Two for Tuesday – Guideline Week (FHA)

#TwoforTuesday – I ♥ guidelines and will always use them as a tool to help my clients get to the end goal – close more loans! That’s what they’re there for.  To help us.  Might as well point out one’s I see missed or not understood by the masses right.  It’s my value point for you.  It’s where I can shine to help you structure a deal right to begin with.  Today I go over two FHA guidelines that are commonly asked as questions.  Seasonal income and how to use it.  As well as departing primary income and rental income calculation.

It’s important to align your Brokerage with Lenders that can help you with guidelines and do not have many overlays.  That’s the point, to help you get on POINT.  With BLUEPOINT! CLICK HERE and complete the broker package today! We are a Broker Friendly lender growing all over the nation.  Let’s do business! With strong pricing on FHA/VA and the 9 different non-qm options we are poised to make impact where other lenders may not specialize.  That’s our “niche'”.

Guidelines are apart of our everyday role as AE’s and wholesale Lender reps, we have LO’s and Broker’s asking us questions all day.  We can gain answers straight from the source (Underwriting) and help you structure your loans to actually close.  This is the difference making we make at BluePoint.  Don’t get stuck with loans you can’t close.  Get on point with BluePoint today!

Monday’s Motivation – Guideline Week!

#MondaysMotivation – Guideline week, I ♥ guidelines!  Knowledge is value that dollars follow.  I suggest anyone in the craft of originating loans learn to create value by studying the guidelines of various programs.  To be able to recite the guidelines you know when you need them, or at the least be able to look them up at your fingertips.

No matter what, knowing the guidelines is what can help you structure the loans the right way and experience less issues.  Today I start the week off with two simple but missed guidelines quite often.  If you balance a file correctly at the beginning you can pick to not finance the UFMIP and use the credit associated with the file to cover it.  Same with business debts, knowing what to gain and how they must be portrayed to exclude from DTI is power.  Structure FHA loans to win.  I’m in for any “I gotta guy” question this week.  Contact me on Facebook here!

If you’re not signed up with #BluePoint we are here to help you #GetOnPoint!

CLICK HERE – And let’s do business!  We ♥ FHA loans and go by the guidelines.  We have one overlay basically.  That’s the fact we only allow as low as 550 FICO.  Remember 550-579 FICO would be 10% down or 90% LTV anyway.  We allow manuals and would refer to the handbook 4000.1 for guidelines.  If you want to have access to the newest version on the 4000.1 – feel free to CLICK HERE!

Mondays Motivation – Get JUICY all week!

#MondaysMotivation – Join Us In Creating Yes’s all week long.  This week I will talk about tools that help my Broker Partners grow their business.  As part of my career in Wholesale Mortgage’s, as a lender rep, I always looked to add value to my Broker Partners to help them grow their company.

Over the years, I endorse or helped others with use of certain tools.  Weather it be a website, or a way to build a list, a CRM, or a mobile application.  Credit repair or ways to retain your clients.  I looked to give recommendations to my LO’s to help them do more loans.  And in the process help them close some of those deals! #GetOnPoint!

Get on Point with #BluePointMortgage! – We are a great up and coming wholesale lender that is focused on niche’s to help Broker’s grow their pipelines.  We have over 9 different programs on Non-QM and we love government loans.  Yes our pricing is fantastic on Conventional as well, feel free to price us out on any program!  FHA/VA down to 550 FICO and our Non-QM rates are rock solid.  CLICK HERE If you want to price a Non-QM loan please reach out, I will do that for you personally.  Otherwise, get on point with BluePoint here!

As Always – #SellWell

Two for Tuesday – Lessor of the Two!

#TwoforTuesday – Non-QM loans are fantastic.  And pricing is ON POINT! But what LO’s need to remember is as you structure these bank statement loans, you get the lessor of the two!  The lessor of the 1003 input value or the bank statement calculation once the underwriter is done analyzing them!

I give a great example in today’s video on how to avoid the pitfalls of this.  Make sure you do your own due diligence to the bank statements before you hand them in.  The 1003’s value of what income you use is set in stone at submission.  And never can go up, only down.  You get to use the “lessor of the two” when it comes to Non-QM.  #KnowThis

Non-Qm is definitely here to stay, and has a great function to lending now days.  If you’re not doing at least one of these per month, you’re missing out on opportunity.  Did you meet NIVA, NINA’s smarter sister?  🙂   These investor loans are fantastic and the opportunity to help investors expand their portfolio is fantastic.  With full doc, shorter times for waiting periods, investor loans, bank statement loans and more, NON-QM is a great product to start utilizing if you’re not.  It’s a great way to create options for your borrowers!  Get on POINT HERE!

Monday’s Motivation – Create Urgency!

#MondaysMotivation – Create urgency with your clients, now’s the time! Think about it, since Trump has been in office things have been “going well”! Stocks are up, unemployment is down, and the overall economy is booming again in the US of A! Explain this to your clients, while there are a bunch of things that affect “rates”, the predominant thing is the overall look of the health of our country.  And we’re kickin it in high gear across the Nation.

While there are other factors, such as the government buying less bonds, the trade issues with other countries that could “affect” business.  The general consensus is that appreciation is happening, inflation is taking place, and rates are going up! What’s that mean?  Well – If you wait to buy a home, the amount of home you will “qualify” for will be less in the future than it is now.  Rates are going to go up, and home values are going to go up.  Use this information to help borrower’s or prospects get off the fence.  Now’s the time to create URGENCY within your business.

Creating URGENCY is best done with a limited amount of “TIME” or limited amount of quantity.  Well in the case of homes this year you actually HAVE BOTH!  Use this to help drive business today!

And while your at it, partner with a Lender that can help  you #GetonPoint with your transactions.  Don’t get stuck with loans you can’t close.  Let’s help you create options for your borrowers – CLICK HERE!
