I have a lucrative deal that has a few road blocks, and it's keeping me on the edge of my seat. First it was close to signing docs but then Wells Fargo got tedious over something regarding the income(loan is 80/20 stated), so now the LO is trying Countrywide.

Well, what are the roadblocks? I personally hate Countrywide so maybe I am biased.

Good luck. Most lenders are not just shying away from 100% loans but running from them, wherter it be an 80/20 or whatever, in particular Stated income. If it doesn't work out, ask the borrower if he could go for a Full Doc via Bank Statements. They will get a better rate. Somebody like a First Franklin under their new Alt A programs might do it if the borrowers score is high enough.

Countrywide has always been able to do an 80/20 reduced doc loan if the applicants have a 680 credit score. Every deal I've ever done with Countrywide has closed on time or before.

My wife is a closing agent and she says she loves to see when buyers are using Countrywide because "I know everything will be easy"

ok....they should be able to do an 80/20 with reduced doc all day long. As long as their stated income is "within reason" with their profession. Their reduced doc means their primary source of income (employment) is verified while the amount of income, although disclosed, is not verified.

Coolguy... with what is given and the score of 800, it shouldn't be that hard to find an 80/20 but again... there isn't much to work with in your given scenario. What is the "...something about income" that Wells was tedious over?

P.S. Is this the same LO that you posted in another thread that had 2 of your deals fall out of Escrow? Please check your Private Email... I sent you my info.

Thanks,

If your broker is using Countrywide please expect the rates to be at least .25% higher than most banks.

Ya, I agree with Mortgage Master. Every time i've tried countrywide their rates are always a little bit higher then every other bank. I usually try to stay away from countrywide

Countrywide has added 5800 jobs this year though: http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/business/20070716-1201-countrywide-mortgages-.html

I think they are great. I use a local branch. They never missed a closing. In fact, I had a few transactions where I had title in place and the branch closed the deal within a day. it was ready to fund the next day after the buyers mortgage broker fell through.

I have never done a loan with Countrywide. Their pricing usually sucks.

- What is the purchase price?
- Does your borrowers have reserves?
- What does your borrower do for a living?
- Is your loan officer over stating income? If so, you might wanna consider another lender.

I know a few more lenders other than Countrywide and Wells that will do the first 80%. That's the easy part, but with your fico, I know another lender that would go stated for your 20% up to 150K with your borrowers fico. If your LO can't get it done.

Let me know!

OMG this client(along with another one) were literally the last ones to get 100 percent stated loans. Signing docs later today. I almost had a heart attack.

Yes, the pricing isn't always the absolute best but my branch closes every time. It's not always purely about price. It's about service and ability to close.
