Hello
I saw some of your answers here and thought some of you might be able to give me some advice if you wouldn't mind. You all seemed pretty knowledgeable.
I bought a piece of land outright worth about 300K (current mrkt value)
I built a house on the land and paid the builder about 700K outright
I have 0 debt on any of this
2 years ago when i put this plan together I had the ability to afford the project outright, however due to recent events in the economy I really need some of the money I put into the project back.
I have fair credit, however my income situation is not good. Is their a way to use the home, which just appraised for 900K as collateral for some type of loan? Where my employment situation will not have to be considered?
A no doc or no ratio maybe?
Any advice or guidance would be major
Thanks

You need to show income to get a loan.
Lenders would like to know how you will be paying them back
Good luck and feel free to ask

Hi Limiter,
You can definitely use the property to get a loan. Conventional loans are available at a credit score of 720-740 whereas FHA loans are available at 620 credit score. However, you should note that apart from credit score, the lender will also look at your income and employment history. You will have to show at least 2 years of employment history in order to get a loan. Keeping in mind the present market situation, no doc loans are not available in the market.
