Bank Turned You Down? Here’s Why—and How We Can Help!
Bank Turned You Down? Here’s Why—and How We Can Help!
Being turned down by a bank for a mortgage can feel frustrating and discouraging—but it doesn’t have to be the end of the road. At David Blatt Mortgage, we specialize in helping borrowers who have been denied by traditional banks. A bank turndown doesn’t mean you’re not qualified to own a home—it simply means you need a lender who understands your unique financial situation and can offer alternative mortgage solutions.
What Is a Bank Turndown?
A bank turndown occurs when a financial institution declines a mortgage application because the borrower does not meet their strict lending criteria. While banks tend to favor applicants with near-perfect credit and traditional income sources, the reality is that many qualified homebuyers don’t fit into that mold.
Common Reasons Banks Deny Mortgage Applications:
- Low Credit Score: Banks often require high credit scores, making it difficult for borrowers with past credit issues to qualify.
- High Debt-to-Income (DTI) Ratio: If your existing debt payments are considered too high relative to your income, banks may reject your loan application.
- Insufficient Income Documentation: Many self-employed individuals and freelancers struggle to provide the W-2s or pay stubs that traditional banks require.
- Recent Bankruptcy or Foreclosure: Even if you’ve rebuilt your finances, a past bankruptcy or foreclosure can disqualify you from a bank loan.
- Short Employment History: If you recently changed jobs or started a new business, a bank may see you as a risky borrower.
- Unique Financial Situations: Commission-based income, seasonal employment, or income from multiple sources can make it harder to qualify under a bank’s rigid guidelines.
