Strong borrower, wrong box
Some files are high quality but still miss agency guidelines. That can happen because income is complex, assets are stronger than taxable income, the property is unusual, the loan amount is high, or one guideline overlay blocks the approval.
A super-prime or Alt-A review is about finding whether a non-agency structure solves the actual issue without overcomplicating the file.
Common scenarios
- Strong credit borrower with nontraditional income documentation
- High-asset borrower with low taxable income
- Recent business change or income transition
- Foreign income or complex residency profile
- Non-warrantable condo, condotel, or other property wrinkle
- Jumbo or high-balance scenario that does not fit the standard path
How I compare it
The first step is identifying the exact agency failure point. Then I compare whether full doc, bank statement, P&L, asset qualifier, investor, jumbo, or other non-QM paths solve the problem cleanly.
What to prepare
Bring the current denial or feedback if available, income documents, asset statements, credit range, property details, occupancy, target loan amount, and your preferred payment or cash-to-close strategy.
