What Is a Hard-to-Place Mortgage Loan Referral?
A hard-to-place mortgage loan is a financing request that does not readily meet a traditional lender's requirements. Challenges may involve credit history, income documentation, property type, occupancy, loan purpose, existing liens, transaction timing or collateral condition.
The goal is not to bypass underwriting. It is to identify whether an appropriate lender or loan program may consider the transaction under its own guidelines and applicable legal requirements.
