SWBC offers mortgage loans for primary residences as well as for second homes and, in some cases, can offer loans for investment properties. A full list of documents needed is below as well as a link to the SWBC on line application. The most basic guidelines for qualification are:
- Credit score requirements have become more rigid in conventional, FHA and VA underwriting guidelines. The minimum score is 620 if the other criteria in the file is strong. The interest rate is increased with credit scores under 740 in increments of 20 points down to 620. However when mortgage insurance is needed, the credit must be 660 and the mortgage insurance premium is risk base priced up to 760 scores.
- We can finance up to 10 properties for an individual borrower. Tax returns will be used to determine if all of the properties are income producing and if the borrower is capable of managing more than one property.
-
Loans over 80% loan to value require mortgage insurance and separate approval by the mortgage insurance provider.
-
All documentation provided is validated for accuracy via: social security administration, IRS (Tax validations are a requirement for final loan approval), Homeland Security and the banking institution associated with asset verification.
-
Income is determined with the use of W2s. W2 employees may use the current salary to qualify. Self employed borrowers will be qualified with the average of the last two years tax returns as validated with the IRS. A decline in income needs to be addressed at initial application.
