Ask the Underwriter #14

Written by The Servion Group

Blog Hero Ask The Underwriter 800X400

Ask the Underwriter is our forum for answering common or recent partner questions. 

In this edition we’re tackling two questions that have been asked by multiple partners over the last few weeks.

Question: My borrower has a 7-month job gap. What are the requirements for this person to obtain a mortgage loan?

Answer: For job gaps of 6 months or longer, Servion will require a written letter of explanation from the borrower; the letter must explain the circumstances surrounding the job gap. Additionally, following a job gap of 6 months or longer, we require the borrower to hold another job for at least 6 months to prove they have stable and consistent income.

Question: My borrower wants to use funds from their Venmo or other cryptocurrency account. Is that allowed?

Answer: Yes, funds from a cryptocurrency account (or Venmo) are acceptable; however, they must first be pulled from the account and deposited into a traditional checking or savings account. Then, document the large deposit of the funds with a statement from the cryptocurrency or Venmo account showing the borrower’s name and the withdrawal of the funds.
