A SMAB is a Search Mortgage Approved Broker. These are partners we deal with for tough deals that are non-conforming. Please note they cannot help with credit issues. For any SMAB deal, you must fill out the Underwriting Menu and provide Deeqa with all details. The fee is 1% of the mortgage amount or $5,000, whichever is greater of the two.

-Once you have a completed application and received the necessary documents from the client, fill out the Underwriting Menu.

-UW Menu can be found here >  http://realestategeeks.net/smcunderwriting

-Once completed, email Deeqa all information and what you’re looking to accomplish.

-Equitable Bank, Equity Financial Trust and Community Trust are the B lenders we are signed up with at Search Mortgage.

-You should be submitting deals that have a TDS of 44-48% or a GDS over 39-48% to B lenders as they do not fit traditional A lending guidelines.

-Also, clients with bruised credit (a beacon under 620) must be submitted to B lenders.

*Please note for purchases the minimum LTV is 80% (B lenders are uninsured therefore 20% down payment is the minimum).
