What is a Verification of Employment (VOE) only Mortgage?

A The Verification of Employment (VOE) loan option uses your employment history as the primary criteria for a home purchase. NO Tax returns, W2s or Pay stubs required.

How to Get the Best Deal with a VOE Loan

With the VOE loan program, approval is much faster than through a conventional or FHA loan. You’ll need a credit score of at least 620 in order to get the best deal, and a 20% down payment on the home. You’ll also need to have the home as your primary residence. You can use 100% of gift funds to purchase the home as well. In addition, there are flexible loan terms with a VOE mortgage. You can choose from a 30-year fixed loan, or a 7/1 ARM adjustable-rate mortgage (with the interest paid during the fixed period). Plus, because no tax returns or pay stubs are required, all you need to show is income or have your employer verify your employment for as little as the last two years.
