A no income verification home equity loan is a second mortgage loan that does not require you to provide income documentation to qualify for the loan. This type of loan is great for homeowners who need a home equity loan but have hard to document income.

The majority of borrowers with hard to document income are either self-employed or commission based employees. Consumers who fall under these categories may have high income but have a lot of business related deductions that they write off on their taxes. This is good on the one hand as it reduces the taxable income and thus the amount of taxes owed, however, when it comes to getting a home loan it can hurt as most lenders use the average of your last 2 years taxable net income (the amount left after all of your deductions) to determine your income figure for qualifying purposes. This may cause you to have a debt to income ratio problem if you have a high debt load and thus keep you from qualifying for the loan. With a no income verification home equity loan, however, your gross income can be used for qualifying purposes as opposed to the net income.

In order to qualify for a no income verification home equity loan you will, in most cases, need good credit and a high credit score. Expect to pay a higher rate for this type of loan as opposed to a traditional loan in which you have to document your income. Also, even though a no income verification loan does not require you to document your income, some lenders may require that you have a certain dollar value of assets on hand which must be verified. Not all lenders have this requirement though – some lenders offer a program called NINA which stands for “no income no assets” meaning you do not have to document either. Loan guidelines and rates vary from lender to lender so it is a good idea to shop around to increase your chances of getting the best deal available to you.

Pascual B asked:


I bought a home 4 years ago and am now having trouble paying my mortgage. I have a first and second TD, the first was refinanced once as a rate/term refi, and the second, an equity loan with wells fargo, was partially used to cash-out. I have to consider foreclosure as an option, if the lender is not willing to modify the terms, but I’m unsure if either the 1st or 2nd lienholder can pursue any of my other assets, including a property my wife owns free and clear that was gifted from her grandmother, a pretty decent size 401K (over 100,000), or possibly even garnishment of my wages. Credit and Tax issues aside, is there any way the lender will seek repayment through the court system, or will foreclosure pretty much protect me? BTW this house is considered my primary residence. I am also trying to find where on the note/deed of trust that I signed, it states whether or not the liens are considered recourse or non-recourse, but cannot seem to find the pertaining verbiage

I contacted a debt solution program but they say my credit will be hurt until I get these paid off. My credit is real good I just have alot of credit card debt that I would like into one lump sum with a fixed monthly payment. I cannot take a home equity loan due to a second mortgage for a business loan. My local bank said I don’t have enough assets for a personal loan to cover the whole amount.
