How to Write a Profile Story. A profile story is a portrait of a person in words. Like the best painted portraits, the best profiles capture the character, spirit and style of their subjects. They delve beneath the surface to look at what motivates people, what excites them, what makes them interesting.
For a cash-out refi on a home the borrower lives in, generally, the lowest credit score is 640, according to Fannie Mae's standards. But such a loan comes with caveats. The borrower can't have an LTV ratio higher than 75%, must have 6 months of reserves in the bank and a debt-to-income ratio of 36% or lower.
Fannie Mae is now reducing the six month requirement to four months. If the lender is unable to warrant that the current value of the property is not less than the original value of the property, the loan is not eligible for delivery to Fannie Mae by the lender except on a negotiated basis.
