Questions brokers ask.

Can a non-occupant co-borrower participate?

The supplied HomeOne guide does not permit non-occupant co-borrowers. Compare another program if the loan needs that support.

When should I compare standard conventional?

At 95% LTV or below, the guide directs the loan to standard conventional requirements. Compare the appropriate conventional path instead of carrying over HomeOne’s structure.
