Lending to Complex Borrowers

Complex borrowers include wealthy individuals, business owners, real estate investors and more. These are the borrowers that have you wishing for a plain-vanilla-wage-earner. Tax returns are voluminous and layered. For one loan you may be analyzing as many as ten tax returns, perhaps more. More than other lenders, you need to be able to sift through the overwhelming amount of information to:

  • Pull qualifying income
  • Spot red flags
  • Understand the borrower
  • Have more meaningful conversations
  • Uncover loan opportunities
  • Make a good decision
  • Document the file
