โธ โก Quick Start Prompts for Guidelines Research
Non-Occupant Co-Borrower Rules
I have a first-time buyer whose parents want to co-sign but won't live in the property. Walk me through the FNMA guidelines for non-occupant co-borrowers: What are the LTV limits? Does the primary borrower need to make a specific percentage of the income? Are there any restrictions on property type? Cite the specific sections so I can reference them. Then give me a plain-English summary I can paste into an email to my borrower explaining what this means for their situation.

FHA Gift Fund Documentation
My borrower is receiving a $15,000 gift from their aunt for the down payment on an FHA loan. What documentation do I need to collect? Walk me through the gift letter requirements, source and transfer verification, and any donor restrictions. Are there different rules if the gift is coming from a non-family member? Give me a checklist I can send to my processor and a separate, simpler explanation I can give to the borrower so they know what to expect from their aunt.

Self-Employment Income Calculation
I'm working with a self-employed borrower (sole proprietor, Schedule C) who's been in business for 3 years. Their 2023 net income was $95,000 and 2022 was $78,000. Walk me through how to calculate their qualifying income for a conventional loan. Do I average the two years? How do I handle depreciation and depletion add-backs? What if their YTD P&L shows income is trending down 15% from last yearโdoes that change anything? Show me the math step by step.

Comparing Agency Requirements
I have a borrower with a 660 credit score, 5% down, and a DTI around 47%. They're looking at a $350,000 purchase. Compare the eligibility requirements across Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and FHA for this scenario. Which program gives them the best shot at approval? Are there meaningful differences in MI costs or rate adjustments I should factor in? I need to explain the trade-offs to them in our next callโgive me talking points that are accurate but not overly technical.

Rate Comparison with Full PITI
Compare two scenarios for a $425,000 purchase price with 5% down ($21,250). Scenario A: 6.75% rate, no points, $3,200 lender credit. Scenario B: 6.25% rate, 1.5 points, no credit. For both, assume property taxes of 1.1% annually, homeowners insurance at $1,800/year, and PMI at 0.5% annually. Calculate the full PITI payment for each, the monthly savings of the lower rate, the breakeven point for paying the points, and total interest paid over 7 years (average time in home). Show me a simple table I can screen-share with my borrower.

Rent vs. Buy Analysis
My borrower currently pays $2,400/month in rent and is considering buying a $380,000 home with 10% down at 6.5%. Property taxes are 1.25%, insurance is $140/month, and they'd have HOA of $200/month. PMI would be around 0.4%. Calculate their total monthly housing cost as an owner. Then model this out over 5 years: factor in 3% annual rent increases, 3% home appreciation, and the principal paydown they'd build. Show me the net wealth difference between renting and buying at the 5-year mark. I need a clear visual I can walk them through.

Refinance Break-Even
My borrower has a current loan balance of $340,000 at 7.25% with 26 years remaining. They can refinance to 6.375% with $4,800 in closing costs (no cash out). Calculate: (1) Current P&I vs. new P&I, (2) monthly savings, (3) break-even month, (4) total interest savings if they stay 5 more years, (5) total interest savings if they stay the full 30 years. Also show what happens if they take the monthly savings and put it toward extra principal each monthโhow much faster do they pay off the loan? Give me a clear summary I can paste into an email.

Affordability Backward Math
My borrower household earns $8,500/month gross and wants to stay under a 40% DTI. They have $450/month in car payments and $200/month in student loans. Back into the maximum home price they can afford assuming: 6.5% rate, 30-year term, 5% down, property taxes at 1.2%, insurance at $150/month, PMI at 0.5%, and no HOA. Show your work step by step so I can explain the logic to them. Then run a sensitivity analysis: what if rates drop to 6%? What if they pay off the car first?

LinkedIn Thought Leadership Series
I want to establish myself as a go-to resource for first-time buyers on LinkedIn. Create a 4-post series I can publish over two weeks.

Keep each post under 200 words. Vary the format: one list-style, one story-driven, one myth-busting, one data-backed.

SEO Blog Optimization
I have a blog post on my website titled "FHA Loans in [My State]: Requirements, Limits, and How to Qualify" that's getting some traffic but not ranking on page 1. The target keyword is "FHA loan requirements [state]." Audit my approach: What H2s should I include to capture featured snippets? What related questions (People Also Ask) should I answer? Give me an optimized meta title and description under character limits. Suggest internal linking opportunities if I also have posts about "first-time buyer programs" and "down payment assistance." Finally, what schema markup should I add?

Topics: (1) You need 20% down, (2) Pre-qualification = pre-approval, (3) You shouldn't buy until rates drop, (4) Your bank will give you the best rate, (5) You need perfect credit. For each: hook that stops the scroll (first 2 seconds), the myth stated dramatically, the reality explained simply, one specific action they can take, and an end screen CTA. Write these as actual scripts I can read on camera, not outlines.
