WHAT IS A WVOE LOAN?
A Written Verification of Employment (WVOE) loan is a flexible loan option designed specifically for salaried borrowers who may not have traditional income documentation like tax returns. It allows for the use of employer-verified income instead of standard financial statements, making it an ideal solution for borrowers with limited documentation.
WVOE
LOAN OVERVIEW:
The Written Verification of Employment (WVOE) loan is designed for salaried borrowers who may not have traditional documentation like W-2s, paystubs, or tax returns readily available. Instead, income is verified through a written confirmation from the borrower’s current employer.
This streamlined approach is ideal for employees with consistent income who need a simplified path to loan approval. WVOE loans eliminate the need for complex income calculations, allowing for faster turn times and reduced documentation requirements — especially beneficial for borrowers with straightforward employment.
With options for up to 80% CLTV and a minimum FICO of 620, WVOE offers an efficient, flexible solution for buyers who qualify based on salary but don’t meet standard documentation thresholds.
