Review of NPX Mortgages

NPX (a product of MERIX Financial) is a solution-based, full-suite alternative product that meets the needs of those who are self-employed, those with non-traditional incomes, or with a blemish on their credit score.

NPX focuses on borrowers that need more taken into account than just credit. They offer flexible debt ratios and no stress test requirements. Their programs, including their bank statement program and rental program, also provide alternatives for those who do not meet traditional lending criteria.

Ideal Client

NPX is ideal for individuals with bruised credit, investors, self-employed professionals, and business owners who need more flexible mortgage options and an easier approval process. Despite the potential downsides of lender fees and potentially high penalties, NPX offers valuable solutions for clients who might not qualify with traditional lenders.

 

Special Features:

Rental Program

 

NPX offers several features for borrowers looking for flexible mortgage options. They provide flexible debt ratios, making it easier for individuals with varying financial situations to qualify. Their bank statement program is designed for self-employed clients, allowing them to use bank statements as proof of income. Additionally, the rental program caters to those investing in rental properties, and notably, there is no stress test required, which can simplify the approval process. While these features can be beneficial, it's important for clients to weigh the pros and cons to make the best decision for their needs.

 

Downsides:

No Banking Services

High Penalties

Geographic Limitation

Paperwork Intensive

No Physical Branches

 

When considering this lender, it's important to be aware of some potential downsides. They may charge a lender fee, and you won't find any banking services available, which could be a drawback to some. Additionally, their prepayment penalties can be higher than some other lenders, and their lending area is somewhat limited. With no physical branches to visit, you’ll need to conduct your dealings online, which might not suit everyone. Lastly, be prepared for a paperwork-intensive application process, which can be a bit tedious. Understanding these factors can help you make a more informed mortgage decision.

 

Best Suited For:

 

Bruised Credit

Investors

Self-Employed

Business Owners
