LINTHICUM, MD, March 21, 2016— NFM Lending is proud to announce the beginning of its latest charity initiative, the NFM Salute. This program, launched March 15, 2016, will honor veterans and active duty military members, giving them the recognition they deserve for their service to our country.

The NFM Salute will choose one military member or veteran each month to honor as their “Salute of the Month.” Salutes will be chosen from nominations on the NFM Salutes website, www.nfmsalute.com. The “Salute of the Month” will be featured on the website with a brief biography and information about his or her service, and NFM Lending will make a $2,500 donation to a military or veteran non-profit in the Salute’s name (select charities listed below).

“The NFM Salute program is a continuation of our efforts to honor those who have served or are currently serving in the U.S. Armed Forces around the world,” said David Silverman, CEO. “From our vantage point, we can never do enough. We will continue to look for new ways to pay it forward to those brave and courageous men and women who inspires us all.”

Military and veteran causes are important to NFM Lending. For the past eight years, NFM Lending has held a Support Our Troops Drive, collecting items for care packages to send to U.S. troops overseas. In addition to employees and employee family members who are active military or veterans, several members of NFM’s executive team are veterans, including Fred Sujat, Chief Compliance Officer.

“Having served in the U.S. Air Force as a Judge Advocate for over thirty years, I salute NFM for its recognition of all those veterans who, over the years, took time from their families and the comforts of their homes to serve our Nation,” said Sujat.

Selected NFM Salutes may choose from one of several non-profits that support active military members and veterans, including Platoon 22, AnySoldier, Soldier’s Wish, and the Gary Sinise Foundation. NFM looks forward to the opportunity to continue to honor our military and veterans through the NFM Salute initiative.

When you submit an application for a home loan, one factor a lender will take into consideration is your employment history. A recent job change, a gap in work history, or a change in pay structure can all affect the home loan you qualify for. Lee Killen, a Branch Manager at NFM Lending, answered some questions about how your job history can affect your ability to qualify for a loan.

How can a recent job change impact a borrower’s eligibility for a home loan?
A recent job switch or position change at one’s current company can impact a Borrower’s eligibility for a home loan either positively or negatively, depending on the pay rate and type of pay being received (hourly, salary, or commission).  The easiest transition is moving from a job in the same field with an increase in salary. The most detrimental transition when trying to purchase a house is moving from a salaried position, to a position with a large portion of your pay coming from commission. You will need to document two years’ history of commission or bonus income before it can be used to qualify for a home loan.

In what other ways do job history and pay structure affect mortgage eligibility?
A lender’s main responsibility when lending money is making sure the Borrower has the ability to repay.  A large part of this process is verifying job and income stability. Your lender will verify a minimum of two years’ work and income history through tax returns, W2s, and pay stubs, along with a verification of employment from each employer over the last two years. Self-employed income and unreimbursed business expenses will also be reviewed, and can negatively affect your ability to qualify for a mortgage.  Make sure your mortgage professional has received and reviewed this documentation prior to entering into a purchase transaction. Please note that a major change in pay structure can also affect your ability to qualify. Changing from a salaried position to a commission-based pay structure could disqualify you for a loan if the change took place within the last two years. Commission or bonus income also requires a full two-year history.

What advice do you have for someone who has switched jobs recently, or is thinking of doing so, and also wants to apply for a mortgage?
If you are thinking of switching jobs and want to qualify for a home mortgage in the near future, it is recommended that you consult with a mortgage professional who can advise you as to whether a job move will negatively affect your ability to qualify for a mortgage. If you have already changed jobs, make sure you explain the reason for the change to your mortgage professional. This will need to be addressed in the financing process. Position and income changes are the key things lenders will look at. If you are staying in the same line of work and your income is increasing, this is typically not a problem.

When you are ready to purchase a home, be sure to talk to your lender and find out how any income or job changes will affect your loan eligibility. By staying prepared and working with a reputable lender, you can avoid stress and take the steps necessary to get qualified for a mortgage.

LINTHICUM, MD, August 28, 2015— NFM Lending is proud to announce David Silverman, CEO, has been named one of the 100 Most Influential Mortgage Executives in America by Mortgage Executive Magazine for 2015.

Each year, Mortgage Executive Magazine recognizes mortgage executives that have built their companies and service their clients and employees through service, dedication and hard work. The winning executives were asked to provide their insights on the mortgage industry’s opportunities and challenges today. Silverman spoke about NFM Lending’s increased focus on selective recruiting:

“The biggest opportunity for NFM Lending this year is to be selective with our origination recruits and focus on better, not bigger. Fortunately, the demand for service and product remains very high with a smaller supply of human capital across the industry. We believe this is a great time to be selective as well as bring new blood into the mortgage space and train them up.”

This is the third year in a row that Silverman has received this award.

“I am truly honored to be recognized again amongst so many spectacular leaders in our industry,” said Silverman. “All I can do is continue to work towards being the best leader I can be for my company and those that I am blessed to have on my team making me look good. I surround myself with the best, and occasionally some of it rubs off on me.”

NFM Lending has prospered under Silverman’s leadership, and continues to receive national recognition. The company was named one of the 50 Best Companies to Work For in 2015 by Mortgage Executive Magazine; one of the Washington Post’s Top Work Places in the Washington, D.C. area in 2015; a Top Mortgage Employer by National Mortgage Professional Magazine in 2015; and a Top Work Place in the Baltimore area by The Baltimore Sun in 2012, 2013, and 2014.
