“Turned Down Mortgages”
There is probably nothing more embarrassing when a banker gets turned down for a mortgage, by the bank she works for. Actually, this is the second time in a month, I have had bankers that have been turned down for mortgages, by their own employers. How sad, but good for me.
These folks were buying their first home, never thinking they would have any difficulty getting a mortgage, especially since the bank did a preapproval letter for them.
The bank said their debt ratio was too high, so they could not approve the mortgage. They felt the ratios are too high at 47%. They wouldn’t count the husbands overtime, because his overtime in 2010 was less than it was in 2009. They said because it was less in 2010, they wouldn’t average the two years. Here is what is wrong with the banks findings. In 2011, he has already earned more year to date than all of 2010. The bank didn’t want to hear this information.
The solution, we averaged the last 6 months of 2009, all of 2010 and the first 6 months of 2011. The debt ratio was now 42% and a very easy loan to close.
