Perfect for those borrowers who either are unable to document their income or are self-employed and will have difficulty documenting all income, the stated income verified asset loan allows for borrowers to get a mortgage loan without all the documentation that is normally required to obtain a mortgage. Documents such as W-2s, pay stubs, and tax returns are not required to begin this loan process; however, the income the borrower earns must be reasonable for the employment stated. Stated income loans are the least expensive option for borrowers with difficulty verifying income information as interest rates tend to increase as the risk involved for the lender increases. Generally, stated income mortgages are for people who are self-employed or are paid a cash majority. Lenders commonly ask that the borrower be in business for at least two years.
Stated Income Stated Asset Loans+ NINA
The Stated Income Stated Asset mortgage loan allows borrowers who have difficulty documenting their income sources to obtain a home in line with their true purchasing power. Although SISA loans normally charge higher interest rates, stated income loans only require a limited amount of documentation to be furnished to the lender.

Generally, stated income mortgages are for people who are self employed or are paid a cash majority. To decrease the risk being taken, lenders commonly ask that the borrower be in business for at least two years.
No Income No Asset Loans+ No Ratio Loans
An ideal option for those borrowers who have difficulty producing income sources, the No Income No Asset mortgage loan requires the least amount of documentation. Borrowers wanting to maintain a low financial profile need only provide an excellent credit history and property appraisal. The better the credit score, the less documentation the lender will require from the borrower. No income no asset mortgage loans are for creditworthy people who want maximum financial privacy and can afford to pay for it.
The "don’t ask, don't tell" mortgage, no ratio mortgage loans do not require the borrower to disclose any financial information. No ratio mortgage loans are called such because the lender does not, and cannot, compute a debt-to-income ratio on the borrower. In fact, the only information the borrower normally provides besides his name and social security number is a list of assets. Without having all the additional paperwork to sift through, the lender can quickly pursue the loan process and thus expedite the process for the creditworthy borrower. Depending on the borrower’s credit score, the property appraisal and the amount of the down payment, the interest rate may be substantially higher for the no ratio mortgage borrower.+ NIV
