I have a 705 credit score and zero late payments. I have a 16-year job history and make 80,000 per year. I also have a nine-year rental history. I have the opportunity to purchase the townhome that I’ve been renting, but I’m concerned because my DTI is 48.5%. Do you think I will still get an approval? If so, do you know if I will need mortgage reserves, and if so, approximately how much? I’m using a 401(k) loan for the down payment and closing costs.

I have a client who was approved for FHA with a different lender. She is in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy and has been paid on for 2.5 years. Approval must be obtained from the BK courts for the purchase. She has only W2s for 2019 and 2020 but doesn’t have tax returns. This lender is stating they need tax returns. Can you get this done without tax returns, w2s only? It’s not a self-employed situation.

I am trying to purchase a home in Wisconsin. The state of Wisconsin is a community property state. I want to exclude my wife from my FHA LOAN. However, she has a lot of debts. She has a full-time job. Can her debts not count if she makes a lot of income? Counting her debts and excluding her income disqualifies me due to going over the maximum debt-to-income ratios on an FHA LOAN. She cannot be on a loan due to a recent foreclosure reporting on a home that was surrendered 6 years ago but was taken out of her name.

My landlord asked me to lie, say he is living in a four unit multi-family home I am renting from him. However, the landlord does not live on the four-unit multi family home I am living but owns the property. My landlord does have an extra mail slot in here and gets his mail here addressed from USD. Do you think that I should report him or just leave well enough alone. My landlord even told me if anyone comes to the building inquiring about him living here to tell them that he lives here. I do not feel comfortable lying and covering for him. He seems like a nice guy but he seems shady from what I think is that he is committing occupancy fraud?

I built my last start up 14 years ago and I am rusty. I am building credit for a new startup now. Company was formed 4 years ago and was in hybernation. I am making it come alive and start operations now. My questions

Traditional Business Credit building suggests to start with Net 30 accounts. Right now I have 3 charge accounts that are going to start reporting. I possibly can get 2 more charge accounts.

Should I go back and try to get 2 or 3 net 30 accounts or should I just pass the stage of net 30 accounts and move on?

I have seen so many cases where home builders will offer seller or builder’s concession towards closing costs of $10,000 or more only if the homebuyer uses the home builder’s preferred mortgage lender. If the homebuyer uses the buyer’s own mortgage lender and loan officer, the home builder will not offer any seller concession towards closing costs. To up the ante, the home builder also will offer incenstives such as upgrades to homebuyers who use the home builder’s preferred lender. Isn’t this illegal? Isn’t this a case of steering? Why isn’t the CFPB, HUD, and state and federal mortgage regulators jumping in on this. I am sure the preferred lender is giving the home builder a kickback which is an absolute violation of RESPA and mortgage fraud. I archived this article about Home Builders Steering Buyers To Builder’s Preferred Lenders and I suggest you folks read it and save it on your archives. I use it for reference.

First-time homebuyers and loan officers. Have you hear of EPM DOWN-PAYMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM? Equity Prime Mortgage has a forgiveable down-payment assistance program on FHA loans where the down payment of 3.5% is covered as a second mortgage but it is forgiveable after six months. What does forgiveable mean on DPA programs? Forgiveable means that after a certain period of time, if you sell the house or you refinance out of the FHA EPM DPA loan, you do not have to pay the DPA loan of the 3.5% back. The maximum debt-to-income ratio is 48.99% front-end and 48.99% back-end. The EPM DOWN-PAYMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM is borrower paid transaction. Therefore, you need to get a 6% seller concession for you to get into a house with no money down and with no closing costs or little closing costs. In most cases, there is no down payment or closing costs. The EPM DPA Mortgage Program is availble on FHA loans in standard areas and high-cost counties like many counties in California. Here is an article I wrote about the EPM Down Payment Program. People that qualify are first-time homebuyers, homebuyers who are first-responders, teachers, veterans, and professionals in the medical field, and homebuyers who earn a certain amount of income based on their county:

I have always wanted to own a German Shepherd dog. We have been renting for the past ten years and are about to close on a house. We have a small family, my wife, five year old son, and two year old daughter. I have heard so many great things about owning a German Shepherd dog and how easy they are to train and how great they are as protectors. How is it like owning a German Shepherd dog for a small family like ours. Much appreciated.

I’m trying to create a business name that reflects my dual role as a real estate agent and mortgage loan officer in California. Since I operate individually and not as part of a team or a broker, I want to make sure the name is compliant with state regulations. Can anyone offer guidance on the legal requirements for selecting a business name in California, especially for someone providing both real estate and mortgage services?
