What is the Saxton WVOE Loan?

A loan qualified on a single employer form

The Saxton WVOE Loan qualifies wage earners from a written verification of employment, a standard form your employer completes confirming your position, tenure, and earnings.

The form takes the place of pay stubs and W-2s on this route, though other items may still be required to complete the file.

Use it to purchase a home, refinance your current mortgage, or take cash out of your equity, on a primary residence, second home, or investment property, with loan amounts from $150,000 to $3.5 Million.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about qualifying on a written verification of employment.

Saxton Mortgage does. At least one program we offer qualifies borrowers with a written verification of employment on Fannie Mae Form 1005, starting at a 660 credit score. Loans run from $150,000 to $3,500,000 on a primary residence, second home, or investment property, with higher scores required on larger loans.

Fannie Mae Form 1005, completed by your employer, confirming your position, your time with the company and your earnings. Loan amounts on this program run from $150,000 to $3.5 Million, starting at a 660 credit score with at least one program.

Usually, and it works best where your employer is responsive. At least one program also accepts a Fannie Mae approved third party verification vendor instead of the employer completing the form, which is the route to ask about if your employer is slow or will not complete it.

The verification form takes the place of those documents on this route. Other items may still be required to complete the file.

No. This route is built for wage earners. Saxton offers several self-employed documentation options instead.

One to four unit properties, planned unit developments, townhomes, and warrantable condominiums.

Yes. Primary residences, second homes, and investment properties are all eligible, though terms differ by occupancy.

Yes. The WVOE loan is offered in both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate (ARM) structures. Which one fits depends on how long you plan to hold the loan, and a licensed loan officer can quote both side by side for your loan amount and occupancy.

A WVOE mortgage is a regular mortgage with a different way of documenting income. Instead of pay stubs, W-2s and tax returns, your employer completes a written verification of employment form confirming your position, your time with the company and your earnings, and that form is what the underwriter relies on. The loan itself works like any other: loan amounts on this program run from $150,000 to $3.5 Million, credit scores start at 660 with at least one program, and one to four unit homes, condominiums, townhomes and planned unit developments are eligible as a primary residence, second home or investment property, in fixed-rate or adjustable-rate structures. It is built for W-2 wage earners; if you are self-employed, a bank statement loan is the closer fit.
