I was just told I came back a level III [declined] by Fannie Mae for my home. I have good credit [740] , a job and LTV is 105. I own 2 homes, I live in one and my mother lives in the other. She has paid the mortgage the entire time I have owned it [8 years] and has lived there for 25 years. I was told it was because FM won't count it in my income because it's not a rental and it makes my DTI 74%. Fannie Mae's underwriting guidelines for Secondary Income says they require 2 years of payment history and the liklihood of it continuing. There is a different section relating to Rentals which leads me to think it wasn't because it's not a rental and am wondering what the full story is and if there is a way around it? by Harp2 Inquiry from Los Angeles, California.

if you don't claim on tax returns as income then you can't use it...BUT work with a local mortgage broker to see you you show your in law making payments via 24-36 mths of cancelled checks, i think you could find a lender to take that debt off of you DTI, to bad you didn't live in Florida as I could do it here
if your mother has been making the payments and you can prove it with 24 months canceled checks, then you might get a lender to consider removing the payment from your ratios.. Consider working with a local mortgage broker.. They can massage the Fannie Mae LP automated approval system, and can show you exactly what you need to do to get it approved...

Showing Proof of your mother paying the mortgage for more than 24 months can allow you to remove it from consideration in your debt ratio. I would reccomend contacting your local lender for more information.
Actually a level III is not a decline for Fannie. I have investors that will do a level III under HARP all day long. It sounds like your lender is being too picky. Also, Fannie will allow us to omit from your ratios any debt where you can show the payments are being paid by another for a period of 24 months or longer. Work with a local Mortgage Banker/Broker, rather than one of the big banks or big national mortgage factories. Unlike a bank employee, who is most likely just an order taker, a Mortgage Broker/Banker is Trained, Tested and Licensed in all aspects of Mortgage Origination and has access to loan products of many lenders, not just those of one bank, and can properly guide you. ~ Bert Carpenter, The LoansA2z team of NOVA Home Loans ~ NMLS 40586 ~ www.LoansA2z.com 888-889-9950
For the rental, you will need at least 2 years of rental proof. Also, you have to claim the rental on your tax return.Give me a call or email me, we can discuss more options for you. 714-943-6499, robert.le@greenvillemortgage.net
Is your mother on title as well? I just actually did a conventional refinance for a father who took a loan out for his son's property. I was able to get the loan approved based on 24 months cancelled checks, son was on title, sons tax returns, and a few other items needed for approval. Give me a call or email to see if I can get this done for you. I'm in Torrance. 562.221.1263 chandlerloans@gmail.com Mike Chandler

Level III is not a level for a decline, it's a level of approval. You were working with a lender that has overlays and didn't tell you the full story. I can do a level III APPROVAL for you. I am in California and licensed in California and an expert at HARP. Click my profile for contact info.
