Throughout the mortgage process your credit is pulled by both your mortgage broker and the lender you are partnering with. Since these are the same type of credit pull, there will not be multiple negative hits to your credit.

When working with a DSCR loan, income is determined by the estimated rental income divided by the estimated mortgage payment. In the case where the mortgage payment exceeds the projected rental income, you would have a ratio below one OR “No-Ratio”. This does not stop a loan from being completed, rather there is a negative pricing adjustment to cover the negative cash flow.
For fixed rate loans, interest rates stay the same for the entirety of the loan’s term. An interest only loan is a variable rate loan, meaning that the rate adjusts over time in response to changes in the market.
Redstone recommends locking at time of submission, however you may lock in your rate at your discretion, i.e. after conditional approval.
Yes, a lock can be extended up to a maximum of 60 days depending on the loan situation. This will incur an additional charge to the borrower for the extension.
LPC (Lender Paid Compensation) are the points a broker can charge for the loan transaction, this is included into the rate of the loan. BPC (Borrower Paid Compensation) are the points a broker can charge the borrower for completing the loan that comes directly from the borrower in payment at the end of the loan.
The max points for LPC (Lender Paid Compensation) a broker can charge is 2 points. The max points for BPC (Borrower Paid Compensation) a broker can charge is 2.75 points.
Yes, a borrower can pay a max of 2 discount points to get a lower rate than what was locked in for the loan. All buy downs are a 2:1 ratio in cost.
Qualified mortgage (QM) is also known as conventional mortgage which follows Fannie and Freddie guidelines. Whereas Non-QM is non-conventional and does not follow the same set of guidelines. Non-QM allows lenders to provide different qualification options for borrowers who may have a unique situation.
The rates between the two differ because they are based on different treasuries which control the rate and inflation environment. Conventional rates are based off of the 10 year treasury controlled by the Federal Reserve. Non-QM is based on the 2 and 3 year treasuries which are controlled by other factors in the economy.
Closing is when you meet with your escrow agent to sign all paperwork regarding your loan to finalize the loan transaction. Funding is when you receive the wire and final financing for your loan. Depending on the state, this can be within the same day or up to 72 hours.
One of the many advantages of a Non-QM loan is that they do not require PMI, this is one less charge to the borrower.
