Go Green to Save Some Green

You can save a lot of money with energy-efficient appliances and eco-friendly home improvements. But if you don’t have cash, you’ll probably have to pay for them with a high-interest-rate credit card or personal loan that’ll cut into the money you’re saving. 

Meet CCM EasyGreen, an energy-efficient home mortgage that finances your improvements and gives you a special lower interest rate, too.

Pase de presentar una solicitud a ser propietario de una vivienda, todo en español

Su idioma. Su proceso. 

Me complace ofrecer herramientas para brindar a los compradores de vivienda de habla hispana un proceso más fácil y personal:

No obstante, las herramientas no son nada sin una conexión personal. Hablo español y quisiera brindar orientación especializada y ofrecer mi tiempo para responder sus preguntas en cada paso de su proceso para convertirse en propietario de una vivienda.

Frequently asked questions

  • Non-QM loans use expanded home financing criteria to give borrowers income and credit flexibility. From qualifying with bank statements or 1099 income to purchasing investment properties, Non-QM loans open doors to homeownership many don’t realize are available.

  • Also known as Investor Cash Flow loans, DSCR loans are designed to help real estate investors secure financing with their rental property’s cash flow. Instead of relying on personal income, DSCR loans use the debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) to qualify.

    DSCR is calculated by dividing the monthly rental income by principle, interest, property taxes, homeowners insurance and association dues.

  • Since Non-QM loans don’t follow traditional guidelines, they’re considered riskier. That’s why lenders often require a higher down payment, interest rate and other terms.

    But Non-QM loans are a safe financing option that benefits many homebuyers. Talk to a CCM loan officer to learn what’s right for you.

  • Bank Statement loans allow you to qualify for a mortgage using your bank statements instead of tax returns. These loans are designed for borrowers who have strong credit and finances but don’t have traditional income, like self-employed workers.

    To qualify, you’ll use the average of your deposits over a 12- or 24-month period. If your work doesn’t provide a W-2, this may be the loan for you.

  • ITIN loans give you a way to qualify for home financing without a Social Security number. Instead, your Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN) makes homeownership possible.

    At CrossCountry Mortgage, we provide numerous ways to qualify using an ITIN. Bank statements, liquid assets, 1099 income and more can all be used to buy a home with our ITIN loan.

  • No. Conventional loans follow criteria established by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Non-QM loans use different standards that provide flexibility for borrowers who may not meet conventional requirements due to the type of home being purchased, financial circumstances or non-traditional income or employment.

  • 1. Pre-qualify for a home loan

  • It depends on the home loan. For example, conventional loans require a minimum credit score of 620. But VA and FHA loans may allow homebuyers to qualify with a credit score as low as 500. It’s important to note that lower credit scores often come with additional requirements or higher interest rates.

  • It typically takes a few months to buy a home. The exact length of the process will depend on the market, home and other financing factors.

    At CrossCountry Mortgage, we’re dedicated to making the mortgage side of homebuying smooth and stress-free – offering full approvals quickly through our FastTrack program.

  • First, let’s see if you qualify for certain government-back loans. If you are a Veteran or Service Member, VA loans require 0% down. Same goes for rural homebuyers with USDA loans.

    Second, talk to a CCM loan officer about local, state and national down payment assistance programs that may cover your down payment costs.

  • That is more about you than the market! You’ll want to consider if you are ready to take on the homebuying process and then calculate your purchasing power with a CCM loan officer. Once you know your homebuying budget, it’s time to house hunt and explore your desired community for the home of your dreams.

  • Before you find your dream home, it will help to have:

    • Your credit score
    • Proof of employment and income
    • Cash or assistance for a down payment
    • The right loan
    • A homebuying budget
    • An expert real estate agent
    • Your dedicated CCM loan officer

I’d love to hear from you.
