Non-Conforming Loans

For applications that do not meet traditional lending policy and guidelines such as: specialty lenders, applicants with an impaired credit history/very low credit score, ex-bankrupts, alternative verification of income for self-employed applicants such as “Alt Doc” or “Lite Doc” loans this fee is payable upon loan submission.

Trust/Company finance applications

For applications/properties that are in the name of a company/trust structure there is added complexity and demands.
