Property Details
Single-family residence in Sarasota, Florida
Transaction Details
Our client was under contract to purchase the property for $1.9 million.
Challenges
A self-employed multifamily developer, his debt-to-income ratio (DTI) was too high based on the low adjusted gross income (AGI) on his tax returns. He was denied by a major online lender.
Solution
Because our client could not document sufficient income, he was an ideal candidate for a no-ratio jumbo loan. We closed the deal on time by transferring the existing appraisal from the previous lender.
Wow Factor
He obtained a jumbo loan without having to provide a single tax return or any other income documentation.

Historic home in Old Town Key West, Florida
Transaction Details
Our client, a married couple, needed a rate-and-term refinance to pay off their construction loan.
Challenges
Construction was delayed and by the time it was complete, one of the spouses had been put on furlough by his employer. They needed to refinance out of the expensive construction loan, but they didn't qualify for traditional financing.
Solution
We connected our client with a non-QM lender specializing in no-ratio mortgage loans.
Wow Factor
Despite one spouse being on furlough and the other spouse unemployed, they still qualified for a jumbo refinance due to strong credit scores and adequate post-closing reserves.

Property Details
Single-family residence in Lakewood Ranch, Florida
Transaction Details
Our client was under contract to purchase the property for $2.4 million.
Challenges
As a seasoned CPA with decades of experience implementing tax-efficient strategies for his clients, his own personal and business tax returns reflected the same disciplined approach. However, the low income on his returns made approval under traditional mortgage guidelines not feasible.
Solution
Because our client could not document sufficient income, he was the perfect candidate for a no-ratio jumbo loan, a special kind of non-QM loan that eliminates income and verification entirely.
Wow Factor
Our client qualified for a jumbo loan with no calculation of DTI required.

Single-family residence in Miami, Florida
Transaction Details

Challenges
Her income came from her rental properties and was structured across multiple entities for tax optimization. In other words, her tax returns showed low income by design.
Solution
We qualified her under the no-ratio loan program, circumventing the need to provide any income or employment documentation.
Wow Factor
She netted about $350,000 in cashout proceeds after paying off the bridge loan. All without providing a single tax return.

Solution
He was an ideal candidate for the no-ratio program. Before closing, we also helped him improve his credit score to qualify for a better interest rate.
Wow Factor
Despite recently switching from a W-2 employee to a self-employed business owner, he qualified for a cashout refinance.
