Last week I promised to talk about the 3 types of mortgages that business people and property investors use. This week we’re going to take an in-depth look at one of these loans: the DSCR loan.

It was a great honor to attend the Martin Armstrong World Economic Conference in Orlando, Florida this past November. I have been looking forward to attending this conference for a long time.

About a week ago I posted that rates for home loans went down by about 2%. This means that at the beginning of December of 2023, a loan that would have cost you about 7.5%, today you could get it for about 5.5%.

That is a HUGE difference!

There is a caveat though: this applies to a home where you are going to reside as your primary residence and, normally, for a loan amount no greater than $766,550.

In the last few days, interest rates for mortgages have fallen considerably.

By way of example, a few weeks ago I was quoting 7.5% to our best borrowers with high credit scores and ample income. As I type this e-mail, this same borrower could now qualify for 5.875%.

A highly successful business owner came to us for the best deal on a bank statement loan for the purchase of a luxury home.

"Alejandro did a mortgage for me, and I was very pleased with the way he handled the process.”

"Unlike other people that I have worked with, Alejandro is very thorough. He takes his time explaining the loan process, which requires a lot of patience and a lot of knowledge too. I appreciated that, as well as the immediate return calls. When I called he would pick up the phone. He is very accessible. I appreciated that because my time was limited, especially during the week. “

People are worried about interest rates - they keep climbing.

The press and financial commentators have reached a consensus that rates are coming down in the near future - months from now.

This is misleading people into inaction. Many are on the fence on the belief that when rates come down, then... we will spring into action!

If you live in California, you may be able to buy a home with no money down through the CalHFA mortgage program (California Housing Finance Agency).

"My family got into a situation where someone was trying to take our property from us through an illegal foreclosure. We were at risk of losing everything my family has worked towards for a long time.”

During this episode #94 of the Million Dollar Mortgage Experience, FundLoans CEO Jon Maddux and Alejandro Szita discuss how Alejandro became a mortgage broker, why it's important to have a niche as a mortgage broker, how to help self-employed clients with the challenges they face as borrowers, crazy loan stories, and opinions on non-QM loans and bank statement 2nds.

In the same manner that a coin has two indivisible sides, rates have two indivisible faces: one faces the borrower and the other faces the investor or lender.
