Hello. My name is Erik Martin and I am a writer with The Mortgage Reports website (www.themortgagereports.com). I’m looking to interview mortgage/lending professionals, financial industry experts, real estate agents, and other housing experts for the following story on a tight deadline:
5 STRATEGIES FOR SCORING A MORTGAGE WHEN YOU’RE SADDLED WITH STUDENT LOAN DEBT. This story would explore ways that first-time buyers can better land a favorable mortgage/rate by managing/consolidating their debt, especially their student loan liability. Below is a list of questions I’m seeking answers to. I can either conduct a phone or email interview (with the latter, please email me back full-sentence written responses that I can use as quotes). My deadline is noon central time,Wednesday, May 25.
QUESTIONS:1. Why is it challenging for mortgage seekers to secure a mortgage loan when they already have high student loan debt?2. What is the student loan debt threshold at which mortgage lenders will start to deny mortgage applicants (e.g., if the applicant owes more than $50,000 in student loans?)3. Please detail five smart strategies (list at least 3) that prospective borrowers can pursue to improve their chances of landing a mortgage loan when they have high student loan debt (e.g., strategies can include consolidating their loans/debts, finding a co-borrower, saving up for a large down payment, pursuing an FHA loan, etc.)4. Any other recommendations for these borrowers, or thoughts, tips or suggestions on this topic?5. What is your full name, title, company, city/state location, and email address?
