Jennifer's "yes" story

Occupation: Restaurant Owner
Loan Amount: $373,000
LTV: 80%
Down Payment: 20%

* Jennifer co-owns a local restaurant.  She needed to pull equity out of her home for a new investment.  She provided 24 months of the resturant’s business bank statements to support a Profit & Loss statement that was prepared by her CPA. By multiplying the net income from the P&L by her percentage of ownership, and then dividing the total by 24 months, we were able to determine Jennifer’s monthly income and qualify her for the loan.  No business or tax returns needed.
