• NO-DOC LOAN
  
  Short for "no-documentation loan." A mortgage in which the applicant provides a minimum of information -- name, address, Social Security number (so credit reports can be pulled), and contact information for an employer, if there is one. The underwriter decides on the loan based on the applicant's credit history, the appraised value of the house and size of down payment.
