No Doc Mortgages: Finding Flexible Solutions for Alternative Borrowers

March 28, 2025

No Doc? No Problem.

At Magenta, we know there are many reasons why clients might look for an equity-based mortgage product. For some, unexpected challenges may have left a mark on their credit or a gap in their tax filings that make applying for traditional mortgages difficult, regardless of their current assets and income. Others might have an income that’s difficult to verify because it is from non-traditional sources such as self-employment, separation, or inheritance.  

With these challenges in mind, let’s explore how Magenta’s No Doc mortgages can be a game-changer for alternative borrowers who fall just outside of traditional lending criteria.

Business For Self

Magenta offers No Doc mortgages tailored to alternative borrowers whose circumstances may not be best served by other institutions. For instance, a small business owner might look to use home equity to fund their business, but if that business has a significant cash component, the owner will lack the verifiable income needed to qualify for a bank loan.  

With Magenta’s No Doc mortgage, an appraisal conducted by an appraiser from Magenta’s approved appraisers list ensures the property is marketable and in a high-quality location. By meeting our appraisal standards, borrowers can unlock the value in their property with up to 75% loan-to-value (LTV).

Rentals

No Doc Mortgages are also well-suited for property investors. Securing a mortgage on a rental property to fund renovations for other projects could be a major step for their business, but like many self-employed entrepreneurs, they face the same challenge. Due to the fluctuating nature of their cash flow, they may lack the evidence to prove their ability to repay a loan through the lens of Gross Debt and Total Debt Service Ratio, despite their actual financial capacity being more than sufficient.  

With a Magenta No Doc Mortgage for rental properties, there is a 100% offset on rental income with no maximum number of doors and up to 75% LTV on student rentals. 

Unlock the Power of No Doc

Transform the way you serve your alternative borrower clients with our No Doc mortgage solutions. We shift the focus from traditional bank formulas to the true value of the property itself. While income is a factor, it’s just one piece of the puzzle. Borrowers also need to meet criteria like down payment and credit score, among others.
