How much can I get?
** Please remember that these calculations apply to full-doc loans, where you are attempting to get a loan based only on the income you have reported on your tax returns. (You can generally consider about 3.5 times tax-reported income).A no-doc loan does not look at tax returns and may allow for a larger loan amount.
