THE MORTGAGE PROCESS

Anyone that is financing a home through a financial institution such as a bank, the mortgage process applies to everyone. Initially you will speak to to a processor that will collect required documents to start the process. You will be required to sign a consent for the lender to pull your credit score.

It is good to have a star realtor that can get you ready for this process and hand off to lender of preference. There cannot be any derogatory or disputes on your credit report with any creditors. If so they must be negotiated, paid off and removed. Be sure not to change jobs, use excessive credit cards and there are many more. Our job a your realtor is to take the fear out of this process.

DOCUMENTS

There are required documents to process your loan. These documents consist of W-2's, and or last two current tax year returns and bank statements. Between your tax returns and credit report, the processor can determine how much of a home you may qualify for. Out of this, there is a debt ratio that you must stay below depending on what type of loan applied for. If qualified, the processor will then issue a pre-approval or conditional letter with the maximum loan allowed. The word conditional means there some open items that must be cured to certify this step. /PRE-APPROVAL-LETTER---32819---32836---Dr-Phillips-6-22986.html
