such as Banks and Monoline Lenders with an appetite for strong borrowers.

Benefits to the strong borrowers can include preferred mortgage rates

without charging lending fees. The underwriting guidelines is also designed to

ensure borrowers have adequate positive cash flow after the acquisition of the mortgage.

These Sub Prime lenders can provide a short term solution for mortgage applicants in order for the applicants to improve their financial affairs and with proper debt planning, mortgagees will have the chance to reapply with Prime Lenders.
