Refinancing
Refinancing has been a popular option for borrowers nationwide for the past few years, as interest rates fell to historic lows (2.68% on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage in December 2020, according to Freddie Mac). As rates increase, refinancing likely won’t be as popular.
From 2019 to 2021, a large majority of home loans from CashCall Mortgage were refinance loans. In 2021, over half were rate-and-term refinances, over one-third were cash-out refinances and only about 5% of its loans were used to purchase a home.
Home purchase vs. refinance loans by year
| 2021 | 2020 | 2019 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home purchase loans | 5.35% | 2.60% | 11.28% |
| Refinance loans | 55.43% | 69.89% | 47.04% |
| Cash-out refinance | 37.48% | 26.42% | 41.66% |
Requirements
We found that CashCall Mortgage is more transparent upfront about loan requirements than many lenders. For example, it states that for conventional loans, it requires a FICO score of at least 620 and accepts a debt-to-income (DTI) ratio of up to 50%.
CashCall Mortgage’s specialty loans make it possible to qualify without usual documentation, like tax returns. The Investment Property Program doesn’t verify employment or income; instead, it looks at the cash flow of the property. The Bank Statement Program allows self-employed applicants to use 12 months of bank statements instead of W-2s or tax returns. Independent contractors and commission-based workers can qualify with two years of 1099 forms through the 1099 Earner Program.
National mortgage requirements by type
| Min. credit score | Min. down payment | Compare with other lenders | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conventional | Typically 620 | Typically 3% | Mortgage lenders |
| FHA | 500 | 3.5% with 580 credit score | FHA lenders |
| VA | Set by lender (often 580) | 0% | VA lenders |
