Does anyone really think full doc, 20% down, 6 months reserve will move the high end one bit? I sure don’t.

IONEGARMParticipant[quote=SD Realtor]Not a bad idea IONE, I like that as well. Is the double evaluation a lender overlay or is it actually the FHA? [/quote]
FHA, I know its for cash outs over 85% (new this year), part of me wants to says it for conforming jumbo purchases as well but my memory is fuzzy.

IONEGARMParticipant[quote=Diego Mamani][quote=IONEGARM]I dont have a huge problem with 3.5% down as a buyer as long as its full doc and there is something significant coming from the buyers side. That prevents a lot of the games from being played. [/quote]
With all due respect… I do have a huge problem with tiny (i.e., less than 5%) down payments. These buyers will be underwater in no time, especially if the down payment money was a “gift” and closing costs were paid buy the seller.
We need a real, market-driven economy, not a make believe, commie-style fantasy where govt institutions make decisions instead of private parties.
[/quote]The biggest issue I have with 3.5% down (as long as it comes from the buyers side) is valuation of the property. Valuation isn’t the laser pinpoint accuracy that loan underwriting makes them out to be. There is a wide range. The lower the down the more conservative the appraisal should be. FHA is implementing dual appraisals for some things now, I like that idea.
But full doc undwritten income isn’t a fantasy economy. I have more of a problem with the 31% front end ratio than 3.5% down with a conservative appraisal.
