Watermark Home Loans 100 Spectrum Center Dr Ste 150, Irvine, CA 92618-4964 DRE License Number 01523306 NMLS ID: 1838 Regan Hagestad: NMLS 57351 Matthew Disalvo NMLS 1416809 RECENT LOAN SUCCESS STORY CHALLENGE: We recently had a client who had been turned down by one of the Big Banks because they were told the income on their tax returns was not high enough to qualify for a Jumbo loan. They had found their dream house and had assumed that since they had a sizeable amount of money with their bank and had been with that bank for years that qualifying would not be an issue. After getting into contract on a home with the banks pre-approval letter they found out 7 days into escrow that they were now declined. SOLUTION: After doing an initial phone call with the clients and reviewing their income tax returns we realized that the issue they were running into was because their 2018 tax returns showed lower income compared to 2019 tax returns. After looking at the overall amount that they wanted to finance and the property's purchase price we were able to come up with a solution. We were able to utilize a conventional loan as a 1st mortgage as well as an equity line of credit as a 2nd mortgage to finance the amount they needed. We were able to do this because in many cases conventional loans only require one year of income tax returns to be analyzed for qualifying. Our clients are now the proud owners of their new home all because we took the time to fully analyze their situation and thoughtfully search for solutions. While most banks view the mortgage process as a yes or no equation, we believe that as a mortgage planning practice our job is to create a path to homeownership while providing strategic advice along the way. 310.607.0131
