What is Low / No Documentation Loan?
A category of loans which generally fall into the Alt-A sector of mortgage lending that gives borrowers the ability to state a limited amount of information on their mortgage application.

Example explains Low / No Documentation Loan
Alt-A mortgage lending typically depends heavily on a borrower’s credit score (FICO score) and the mortgage’s loan to value ratio (LTV) in determining the borrower’s ability to repay the mortgage.
A borrower should not be steered to a low documentation or no documentation loan by a mortgage lender in order to speed up the loan application and approval process. Low and no documentation loans usually have a higher interest rate than what can be obtained when income and assets are listed and verified. A little work in gathering information can save a lot of money over the long-term.
