Thanks so much for the pointers, now I have a good guideline on what to look for. Getting grilled by community banks haven’t been a enjoyable experience so far.

Mr. Garcia,
Thanks for your compassion in helping out so many people who are starting. I found a pre-foreclosure deal by walking through a garage sale 2 months ago, owner was trying to clean up personal properties to vacant house before selling. I pass my business card and blank offers. After putting up the house up for sale for 2 months now for $470K and no takers, I followed up and neogitated deal as follows:
FMV 470K
Loan owed 300K
Owner is a ex high-tech worker,lost his job and looking to transfer to another state, payment is $10K behind.
Negotiated price: 352,500
Haven’t signed contract yet. I am clueless on what mortgage I can qualify, based on my situation as follows, should I get a NIV, NAV or No Doc NINA? I have been on unemployment insurance for one year and just started a new job as insurance agent a month agent. Average FICO 710, liquid asset/bank statement $15000, also some asset in 401K.
Other questions:
- How long would a typical No Doc loan take(I’m in San Francisco, CA)?
- Based on a message here, I learn lender will probably ask employment history of 2 years. Is it going to be for the recent two years? I can provide tax file for 2002 and 2003 with average income of 50K to 60K. Also, does unemployment insurance count as income for lender?
Much thanks.

you should probably check into either a bank statement loan (where they look at the last 12 months of bankstatements to determine your income) or a no documentation loan. the bank statement loan might be tight because your DTI cannot be more than 50% on an ARM or 55% on a fixed. i would go with a no-doc loan because with your credit score, you could probably get 90% financing at around 8.5%. that would put your payment at around $2,700 before taxes or insurance. and no, a lender will not use unemployment because you have to have a 2 year history and there has to be a good chance of continuance. so since unemployment is supposed to be short term, they will not count it.
