As a real estate professional, Juan can generate tax losses from items such as accelerated depreciation and other tax incentives; thus, his taxable income has been negative in recent periods and/or below his GAAP income. Due to his tax-efficient business, he has not been able to get a traditional bank loan and had taken out a 10% hard money loan to acquire his new house. With a 50% down payment, ability to pay the 10% interest rate on the hard money loan, and history of successful homeownership, Juan and Mondie received a Community Mortgage loan that enabled them to upgrade their home while reducing their overall interest expense.

Because Cierra recently went back to work after a six-month hiatus, she wasn’t able to show the two consecutive years of employment history required to qualify for a traditional mortgage. With Cierra’s 58 months of reserves after closing, a 30% down payment for the new home, her prime credit score of 762, and her new job, we were able to provide Cierra with a Community Mortgage loan for her and her daughter’s new home.

Hassan is not paid in U.S. dollars and is employed by a foreign company. Foreign source income is disqualified by other lenders, even for legal U.S. residents. As a Foreign National, Hassan does not file U.S. tax returns, so his income documentation wouldn’t suffice for a traditional mortgage lender. Hassan’s 770 prime credit score, 48% LTV on the new home purchase, and proven history of paying his mortgage as agreed meant we could qualify Hassan with a Community Mortgage, while eliminating the hassle and closing delays he experienced with his previous lender.

Because he was recently self-employed as a consultant - to his own former business - Jian was not able to qualify with traditional lenders due to his lack of a two-year history in his new job. Because of Jian’s prime credit score of 753, 30% down payment, and his lucrative consulting role with the business he had just sold, we were able to help him realize his dream of homeownership with a Community Mortgage.

With volatile income from her business, Luz couldn’t provide the income documentation necessary to qualify for a traditional mortgage. Her monthly and annual income volatility was exacerbated by the fact that her business is an "all-cash" business; her taxable income did not necessarily reflect her cash flow and ability to make monthly mortgage payments. With almost four years of reserves after close, a 30% down payment, and a prime credit score of 763, this savvy business owner qualified for a Community Mortgage to buy her new home.
