I forgot to add, Investors gives $2K cash toward closing costs but PMI is more than that. Are you sure that they sometimes pay PMI? When and why only sometimes?

Lakewood: Awesome Mortgage program for 1st time buyers
« Reply #343 on: December 20, 2015, 12:11:38 AM »
From what I know the 2 best options are TD Bank and Investors.

TD: No PMI (that's huuge), rate a bit below marlet, 5%down
Investors: PMI, rate a bit below market, 3% down

Not sure about all the details but for starters call the 2 banks and please post more details here...
also a big difference is Investers allows you to use a co signer on a first time home owner loan. Now that's really huge

I just got a first time home buyer loan from TD, they actually offer as low as 3% down and interest rate 0.25% lower than the average and no PMI. You need to have impeccable paperwork in order to be able to get it, the underwriting departments are very very strict.

TD's DTI ratio I believe is 33%-38% and they'll be happy with a credit score of 660+.

Also, keep in mind that those banks only offer these rates for small loans (under $417k), IINM anything bigger and you'll need a mortgage broker of you want to put down less than 20%

I updated the wiki somewhat based on this info. If people who recently got investors and TD can add in more details to the wiki that would be great.

Income for the last few years needs to make absolute sense (ie there needs to be regular growth in the W2 and tax returns), and bank statements have to match. You can't do Shtik and they dig much more if you're self employed

How does the cosigner help? Lower income requirements?

How does the cosigner help? Lower income requirements?

Say you make 60K (5K a month) with a 40% DTI requirement. Your monthly payment including tax and insurance needs to be below $2K. If your dad makes another 120K and he cosigns, you now have combined income of $180K (15K monthly) and can have monthly payments up to 6K a month.

(Good luck paying that on your $5K a month salary :)  )
