A no-income-verification mortgage is a home loan that doesn’t require the documentation that standard loans typically require like pay stubs, W2s or tax returns.
However, availing a no-doc loan requires some paperwork
The lender accepts other items, such as a bank statement, as proof you can repay the mortgage.
Modern-day no-doc mortgages are different from the declared-income loans that were popular before the housing crashes of 2007 and 2008
Designed primarily for self-employed borrowers, stated income loans allowed applicants to essentially "state" whatever income was needed to qualify
Lenders now have to prove that non-document mortgage borrowers have the resources to repay the loan
How no-doc mortgages work, and who they work for
No-document mortgage lenders offer a variety of no-doc and low-doc mortgage products.
These are often called asset-depletion loans, and lenders qualify you based on up to 100% of your liquid asset value divided by a set loan term
