Niche Service
There are many reasons to use a mortgage broker. Even if you have stellar credit, a good down payment, a long job history, a good income, and a ton of assets. For example: on a refinance transaction, some lenders will increase the price of a loan (ex.: .25 points) when the subject property existing mortgage is an unseasoned (less than 12 months old) mortgage, making it go from a Rate & Term refinance to a Cash Out refinance transaction and some won't; the difference between a "rate & term" refinance and a "cash out" refinance, the "cash out" refinance is always more expensive. Often, we can avoid that expense by choosing the right loan program. The same "cash out" rule can apply when refinancing a second mortgage line of credit that has been drawn upon within the last 12 months.
An additional service that makes us different is that we can expose your loan scenario and bank statements to every appropriate broker, bank, and lender to effectively pre-qualify your loan without pulling your credit or making an inquiry on your credit report.

This process will ensure the best available loan products and services for you and your needs. Whether it is a matter of price or loan program, your needs, through a process of competition and service, will be met.

Niche Lenders and Niche Loan Programs
A niche loan program could be a common loan program but with a unique variable that makes it special. When you add, for example, a 55% Debt to Income (43% - 50% is fairly standard) ratio (DTI). Niche variable, additional 5% in DTI leeway sometimes can make the difference. Then that becomes a niche Non-QM mortgage (Non-QM).
Flexibility is Key
Sometimes there is an occasion where a lender will offer an extraordinarily low interest rate but with a maximum loan amount that is not high enough for what the borrower needs. So, in this case, it could make dollars and sense to combine that lower cost mortgage with a second mortgage to achieve an overall lower blended rate to achieve an overall lower cost of funds. If we don't want to disclose to the underwriter, that means the underwriter doesn't want to see it.
There are extraordinary loan programs coming out in the mortgage industry every month, in addition to many lending guidelines and regulation changes. Different lenders have different underwriters and different underwriters have different lending guidelines and guideline overlays. Often, they do not require income documentation or proof of employment if we can show a commonsense ability to repay the loan; ATR - Ability to Repay.
