"NO DOC" MORTGAGE
A
"no-doc" mortgage is a mortgage loan that a bank makes to a
borrower with no documentation. It is like a signature loan
for a home and requires top tier credit scores (usually 680 or above)
and a significant down payment (10-20%).
In exchange for
not having to give documentation to the bank, the borrower must pay
higher fees and a higher rate to compensate the bank for the added risk
of not verifying the borrowers income or assets.
These are often
used by self employed borrowers - many of whom cannot qualify
traditionally due to low net earnings reported to the IRS. They
are also used by investors who cannot qualify due to insufficient income
and can result in a financial strain to the borrower if not properly
planned for.
