Can You Get a No Credit Score Mortgage in New Jersey?
Yes. A no credit score mortgage in New Jersey qualifies you on your home equity, with no minimum score, no income documents, and no debt-to-income ratio. We’re licensed in New Jersey and our office is in Ridgefield. The loan can be up to 50% of the home’s value, or 55% when it falls between $300,000 and $1,500,000, and the smallest loan is $250,000.
Put those two together and the program fits New Jersey homes worth about $500,000 or more. It works for the house you live in or a second home down the shore. It doesn’t cover a rental.
The Numbers
How Much You Can Borrow on a New Jersey Home
The lower of the purchase price and the appraisal sets the value. These are the largest loans at each limit.
| Home value | At 50% | At 55% |
|---|---|---|
| $500,000 | $250,000 | Not available; $275,000 is under the $300,000 minimum for 55% |
| $700,000 | $350,000 | $385,000 |
| $1,200,000 | $600,000 | $660,000 |
| $3,600,000 | $1,800,000 | Capped at $1,500,000, so 50% lends more |
Each of these leaves well over the $150,000 of equity the program requires after the loan. If you already have a mortgage, it gets paid off out of these amounts, and so does any second mortgage or home equity line, because those count toward the same limit. Say your house in Bergen County is worth $900,000 and you owe $210,000. At 55% the new loan can be $495,000, which pays off the old one and leaves roughly $285,000 before closing costs and the six months of reserves.
What You Need
No Credit Score Mortgage Requirements in New Jersey
- Credit: no minimum score and no minimum number of tradelines. Collections and charge-offs don’t have to be paid.
- Income: not verified. No tax returns, W-2s, or pay stubs.
- Reserves: six months of payments. Cash from a cash-out refinance can count.
- Funds to close: 30 days of statements. Business accounts count only if you own all of the business.
- Loan: a 30-year fixed. No interest-only and no prepayment penalty.
- Escrow: required. Your New Jersey property tax goes into the monthly payment, so budget for it when you look at the payment.
- Counseling: at least one borrower completes homeownership counseling before closing. The CFPB’s search tool lists HUD-approved agencies in New Jersey by zip code.
Judgments and tax liens are the exception to “credit doesn’t matter.” Anything on the credit report, the fraud report, or the title search has to be paid off by closing. The loan can pay it, and IRS debt can be paid through closing the same way.
Behind on the Mortgage?
Bankruptcy, Foreclosure, and Timing in New Jersey
The program closes one day after you’re out of bankruptcy. Foreclosure is where New Jersey homeowners need to watch the calendar.
New Jersey forecloses through the courts. Under the Fair Foreclosure Act, the lender has to send a Notice of Intention to Foreclose before it files, and when it files, a lis pendens is recorded against the property. Once a notice of default, notice of sale, or lis pendens is on record, or the loan is 90 days behind, a no credit score mortgage in New Jersey can’t be used to refinance the house.
So if you’ve missed a payment or two and you have the equity, the time to call is before the notice arrives. A past foreclosure on this house needs 12 months behind it. That wait applies only to the property being financed.
Properties
New Jersey Properties That Qualify
A no credit score mortgage in New Jersey works on a two- to four-family house when you live in one of the units. Single-family homes, homes with an accessory apartment, townhomes, and condos qualify too. Mixed-use buildings are eligible if they meet Fannie Mae’s rules, which require the property to be mainly residential. Acreage is fine up to 10 acres if the appraisal doesn’t label the property rural.
The loan can’t be a high-cost loan under federal law or New Jersey’s Home Ownership Security Act, which keeps the points and fees inside those limits.
If your score is 640 or better and you’d rather put less down, compare our New Jersey no income verification program. If you can wait out FHA’s waiting period after a bankruptcy, our FHA bankruptcy guide explains it.
