VOE-Only Loans

VOE-Only Mortgage Loans in Texas

Mortgage program that uses verification of employment in place of tax returns, pay stubs, and W-2s.

About this program

A VOE-only loan uses a Verification of Employment form completed by the borrower's employer in place of traditional income documentation like pay stubs, W-2s, or tax returns. The employer signs off that you work there, what you earn, and how stable the position is, and that's the foundation for income qualification.

VOE-only is helpful in two very different situations. First, for borrowers whose income is hard to document traditionally (commission-heavy roles, bonus-heavy roles, recent job changes, or non-traditional pay structures). Second, for salaried W-2 borrowers who simply want a faster, lighter-paperwork path to qualification.

This is one of the more streamlined non-QM programs. When it fits, it can meaningfully reduce time-to-close.
