Other Loans

  • DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) Loan: Used for commercial real estate, where lenders evaluate the cash flow of a property relative to the debt service.

  • Cash Out Loan: A type of mortgage refinancing where the new loan is for a larger amount than the old loan and the borrower receives the difference in cash.

  • HELOC/HEL (Home Equity Line of Credit/Home Equity Loan): A loan or line of credit that uses the equity in a person's home as collateral.

  • Non-QM Loan (Non-Qualified Mortgage Loan): A type of loan that doesn't meet the standard federal guidelines, and thus isn't protected from legal action if the borrower defaults.

  • Reverse Mortgage-HECM (Home Equity Conversion Mortgage): A loan program available to homeowners who are 62 years or older that allows them to convert a portion of their home's equity into cash. Unlike a traditional home loan, the borrower doesn't make monthly payments. Instead, the loan is repaid when the borrower no longer uses the home as their primary residence or fails to meet the mortgage obligations, often at the time of their death. It's called a "reverse" mortgage because the lender makes payments to the homeowner, rather than the homeowner making payments to the lender.
