MemberNovember 7, 2024 at 9:16 pm in reply to: Chicago Mayor Breaks Campaign Vow By Hiking Property TaxI see where you are coming from. That is especially true for Johnson, given the controversy surrounding tax collection in Chicago and the latest proposed increase on property taxes. Johnson is the current mayor of Chicago, having held the office since this year, and used to work as a teacher and a union activist. His views on how to run affairs and govern have largely evolved from his leftist political beliefs and his history of working in the Chicago Teachers Union.
As for them, JB Pritzker was born into a business family and has been involved in political activism since the start of his political career. Pritzker has been in office since 2019, and there is no information about Johnson and Pritzker being related in any way.
Every target has a different approach to the situation, and these two people are no different. They also have their fair share of supporters and critics and have been the subject of many discussions regarding a number of policies. One way to bring about the change you want to see is through participating and remaining active in the country’s political discourse.

Sure! Here’s a summarized version of how lenders analyze and underwrite boat and yacht loans with their standards documentation accompanied by stage four of such financing in detail.
Boat and Yacht Loan Financing Process
Application Submission
- A preliminary contact: This is an initial contact. Contact a lender or loan broker when expected to fund the purchase of a boat or yacht.
- Application form: An application form must be filled out primarily personally and financially.
Documentation Required
- Providing a Borrower’s Bank Statements: Lenders will only provide the necessary documents to assess a borrower’s financial status.
Here are the Common
Required Documents.
- Tax Returns: Two years of personal tax returns reporting income (Form 1040) will be provided.
- W-2 Forms: 2 Years of W-2s will be provided for employing income verification.
- Bank Statements: Two Years of bank statements will be provided for analysis of cash inflow and outflow.
- Credit Report: The creditor will procure one’s credit report to provide credit.
- Proof of Income: Employment proof, such as paychecks or other documents verifying employment earnings, would also likely be provided.
Boat Information: The required documents will include all relevant documents for the desired boat, including the purchase agreement, make, model, year of the boat, and hull identification number (HIN).
Insurance Quotes: You may need to demonstrate insurance coverage for the boat as proof of being a competent purchaser.
Credit Evaluation
The lender looks into your credit score and history. Those with higher credit scores usually obtain a more favorable loan.
The Debt to Income (DTI) Ratio will be used to analyze whether the loan will be repaid.
Underwriting
Check Documents: Underwriters will check your financial documents, payment history, and details of the boat you want to buy.
Loan Terms: They shall decide the amount that should be borrowed from the lender, the rate of interest on it, and the loan period according to the borrower’s financial status and the price of the boat.
Loan Approval
Once the lending body approves the application, they will issue the loan approval letter, which contains the specific details that serve as the guidelines for the parties’ involvement.
You may need to meet any conditions the letter provides before final approval.
Closing Process
Review Closing Documents: You will also review the loan agreement and all the related documents, as these are the milestones of the last closing of the loan.
Down Payment: You will pay the down payment, which is twenty percent of four hundred sixty thousand dollars, which gives you ninety-two thousand dollars.
Sign Documents: Proceed to sign the relevant documents for the loan.
Post-Closing
After considering everything, the lender will then provide you with the boat loan, which permits you to purchase the boat. The relevant funds based on the cost of the boat will then be disbursed to you.
The payments will be made monthly according to the schedule outlined in the current loan amortization (in your case, 30 years).
Let’s assume an example of financing:
In the case of a $460,000 yacht with 20% funding:
- A deposit of $92,000.
- Of $368,000, the loan amount is (i.e., $460,000 – $92,000).
- The maturity period for the loan is thirty years.
Let’s assume an interest rate of 6.5%. The payment term may be computed using a mortgage calculator or formula as follows:
Monthly Payment (Both Principal and Interest): Let’s take an estimation:
- Payment Calculation: P = (r * PV) / (1 – (1 + r)^(-n)) Where: P = monthly payment r = monthly interest rate (annual rate / Date) PV = present value = loan amount n = repayment period in months.
If we take a loan of $368,000, with 6.5% interest, we have:
- Monthly Interest rate: 0.00541667 (6.5 / 12)
- Number Of Repayment months: 360 (which is 30 years times Twelve months)
The estimated payment term would be nearly $2,330 for principal and interest only. Regular expenses such as maintenance, insurance, and taxes should also be considered.
Many dream of owning a boat. When seeking to finance a boat loan, it is important to keep in mind the details of the loan procurement procedure. Sufficient information enables your brokerage manager to focus on the nuances that require clarification, which should help the broker complete the application more quickly. At this point, arranging the required paperwork becomes a matter of determining risk assessments, pricing, conditions, and rates.

This article is likely to be informative to many of you. We will discuss the gift of equity, VA loans, and some of our favorite related guidelines.
VA Guidelines on Gift of Equity
Definition:
A gift of equity occurs when a family member sells their house to a related family member at a price lower than the fair market value of that house. The difference between such a house sale and its fair market price is a gift.
Eligibility:
To obtain a VA loan, the borrower must satisfy only a few criteria. The borrower should be a qualified veteran or an active service member.
This transaction must take place between immediate family members. This usually means parents, children, siblings, and sometimes other relatives and in-laws.
Market Value:
Registering an appraisal is necessary to establish the appropriate market value of the house. The VA will order an appraisal to guarantee that the real estate meets minimal property standards.
Loan to value ratio:
The loan amount should be determined based on the appraised amount, not on the sale amount. The gift of equity can be used as a down payment or closing fees.
Documentation:
A gift of equity does require specific documentation that serves as an explanation for such a gift. This includes:
A family member signed a gift letter stating that the equity was a gift, not a loan.
The sales contract stated the sale price, agreed upon, and the amount at which it was appraised.
Down Payment:
In most cases, VA loans will not need a down payment. However, in the case of a gift of equity, it may reduce the loan amount or pay closing costs.
Debt-to-Income Ratio:
Borrowers are still subject to the VA’s debt-to-income ratio, which normally should be up to 41 percent. Still, in some compensating factors, it can be up to higher ratios.
Equity gift use in a VA loan transaction makes sense because it helps family members interact when purchasing a home. Ensure you comply with all the guidelines, such as getting the right appraisal and having the gift on documentation.

It sounds like Alex Carlucci successfully navigated a challenging situation with a manual underwriting process for an FHA loan. Here are some key takeaways from this scenario:
Key Points:
Manual Underwriting:
Manual underwriting allows lenders to assess borrowers who may not meet standard automated criteria, which is especially useful for those with unique circumstances.
Extenuating Circumstances:
Extenuating circumstances can include job loss, medical emergencies, or other significant life events that impact the borrower’s ability to make timely payments. Lenders often consider these situations when determining eligibility.
Late Payments:
While late payments can typically hinder loan approval, manual underwriting provides flexibility. Lenders may look for patterns in the borrower’s payment history and overall financial stability.
Documentation:
Borrowers in similar situations must provide thorough documentation explaining late payments and demonstrating their current financial stability.
Importance of Communication:
Clear communication between the borrower and lender is crucial in these cases. Borrowers should be proactive in explaining their circumstances and providing any necessary documentation.
This case highlights the importance of manual underwriting in accommodating borrowers with unique challenges. It emphasizes the need for lenders to assess each application holistically, considering both the borrower’s current situation and past difficulties. If you’re experiencing similar cases, maintaining open lines of communication and thorough documentation will be key to navigating the underwriting process successfully.

Primary residence mortgage loans require lower down payment such as 0% on VA and USDA loans, 3% to 5% on conventional loans, and 3.5% on FHA loans. Mortgage rates are lower on primary homes. Investment properties require a 15% to 30% down payment and rates are higher than primary homes.
