Home Mortgage

We'll start the process of buying a home or investment by defining your goals and determining your buying power; that is, your financial reserves plus your borrowing capacity. With some basic information about your available savings, income and current debt, I'll refer you to a lender best qualified to help you.

The Loan Process:

     
Pre-Qualification
Pre-qualification occurs before the loan process begins. The lender gathers information about the borrower's income and debts to make an informal financial determination about how much house the borrower may be able to afford.
     
 

Application
The application is actually the beginning of the loan process and usually occurs between days one and five of the loan. The borrower completes a mortgage application with the loan officer and supplies all the required documentation for processing.

You will need:

  • Tax returns for the last two years
  • W-2's for the last two years
  • A list of your employers for the last two years & contact information
  • A current paystub (within last 30 days)
  • Current bank statements on all accounts
  • A list of all outstanding debts
  • Verification of social security number
  • Verification of child support or alimony payments made or received for the past twelve months, if applicable

The loan officer will discuss fees and downpayments which will be itemized on a Good Faith Estimate and a Truth-In-Lending statement.

 
     
  Processing
Processing begins when you submit the application and takes at most 20 days. The processors job is to put a package together that can be underwritten. The processor reviews your credit reports and verifies debts. A written explanation may be required if there are any late payments, collections, etc.
 
     
  Underwriting
Underwriting may take up to ten days. The underwriter determines whether the combined package is an acceptable loan. If a question arises about the package it goes into "suspense" until further documentation is supplied.
 
     
  Closing
At the closing, the lender funds the loan with a cashiers check, draft or wire to the seller in exchange for the property title. The process is complete, and the buyer owns the house!
