Stated Income Verified Assets Loan: (SIVA) - Loan approval is based on your stated income, credit history, and verified liquid assets. The Verified Assets should be consistent with the income claimed.

Stated Income Stated Assets Loan (SISA) - This loan features no assets being verified. You only state your income and state your assets on the application. This program carries a slightly higher rate because the assets are not verified. Now available on Home Equity Lines or Fixed Rate second mortgages.

There are also No Ratio Loans which are similar to the programs above except that no income information is provided or verified on the application.
