“You’re the One That I Want” is one of the most iconic songs from the 1978 musical film Grease, starring John Travolta as Danny Zuko and Olivia Newton-John as Sandy Olsson. Here are the lyrics to this memorable track:

You’re the One That I Want

I got chills, they’re multiplying
And I’m losing control
‘Cause the power you’re supplying
It’s electrifying!

You better shape up, ’cause I need a man
And my heart is set on you
You better shape up, you better understand
To my heart I must be true

Nothing left, nothing left for me to do

You’re the one that I want (you are the one I want)
Oh, honey
The one that I want (you are the one I want)
Oh, honey
The one that I want (you are the one I want)
Oh, honey
The one I need (the one I need)
Oh, yes, indeed (yes, indeed)

If you’re filled with affection
You’re too shy to convey
Meditate in my direction
Feel your way

I better shape up, ’cause you need a man
I need a man who can keep me satisfied
I better shape up, if I’m gonna prove
You better prove that my faith is justified

Are you sure?

Yes, I’m sure down deep inside

You’re the one that I want (you are the one I want)
Oh, honey
The one that I want (you are the one I want)
Oh, honey
The one that I want (you are the one I want)
Oh, honey
The one I need (the one I need)
Oh, yes, indeed (yes, indeed)

You’re the one that I want (you are the one I want)
Oh, honey
The one that I want (you are the one I want)
Oh, honey
The one that I want (you are the one I want)
Oh, honey
The one I need (the one I need)
Oh, yes, indeed (yes, indeed)

You’re the one that I want (you are the one I want)
Oh, honey
The one that I want (you are the one I want)
Oh, honey
The one that I want (you are the one I want)
Oh, honey
The one I need (the one I need)
Oh, yes, indeed (yes, indeed)

This song captures the climactic moment where Sandy and Danny transform their appearances and attitudes to win each other over, embodying the theme of transformation and acceptance that runs through much of the movie.

Below are some specific pointers in regard to the minimum loan amounts for specific types of non-qualified mortgage (non-QM) loans:

Non-QM Loans:

General Minimum: These loans have a broad range of different products that go outside the usual conforming loan boundaries, thus, most, if not all of the lenders do not have any set minimum loan amount. However, perhaps there could be an overarching minimum of $100,000 – $150,000, but this figure can fluctuate based on the lender’s rules, the type of non-QM loan, and even the region in which they operate.

Bank Statement Mortgage Loans:

Minimum Amount: Self-employed individuals often utilize these bank statement loans, hence, it can be predicted that the minimum loan amount is likely similar to non-QM loans of roughly $100,000 minimum. There are, however, lenders who may set the bar a little higher to $150,000 – $200,000, which are higher thresholds as they bring more risk and more documentation demands.

DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) Loans:

Minimum Amount: Typically, these loans are utilized on investment properties, where the income from the property is utilized for the loan amount instead of the person’s income. Here, the usual minimum loan amount is generally the same as other forms, thus, can be around $100,000; however, given the commercial aspect of these loans, many lenders may increase the minimum amount even further, thus, approximately $200,000 or above based on the assumption that these loans are meant for large scale investments.

Advice:

These numbers are rough estimates. Lenders may have different limits depending upon their risk evaluation system, their target audience, and the market conditions.

It is always best to contact lenders or mortgage brokers personally to obtain the most accurate and relevant information since these figures may fluctuate.

Other factors like credit score, property type, LTV ratio, and the borrower’s total financial situation may also influence the minimum loan amount.

If you consider any of the loan types mentioned, consulting a mortgage expert is recommended, as they will customize their advice according to your finances and the details of their available loan products.
