Little Known Ways to Qualify for a Home Mortgage Loan
from:Once you decide to shop around for a certain lender, you have officially started the process of a home mortgage loan. However, it doesn’t end here. You will then have to sign a purchase contract and undergo through the credit approval process, which verifies your actual income, certain liabilities and your ability to repay the potential loan.
When you are invited for a loan interview, make sure to bring a signed copy of the purchase contract. This contract for your house loan specifies the down payment amount, price of the house and your proposed closing date. Typically, when you apply for a mortgage loan, the lender uses all these information to calculate whether the house you wish to buy could serve as collateral for the money you want to borrow.
Make sure to obtain your credit report and correct possible errors before applying for a home mortgage loan since this information will largely affect your ability to obtain the loan.
In order to be processed for a home mortgage as quickly as possible, remember to complete all the documents virtually all lenders require for the loan process.
For the verification of your income, you need to bring:
* Earning statements (w-2 forms, current pay stubs and tax returns for the past year)
* For self-employed (profit and loss statements and return tax for the past two years)
* Extra income (overtime, commission, veteran benefits, social security, and so on)
For the verification of your assets, you should have obtained:
* List of all bank account numbers (including branch address and checking or savings account statements for the past three months)
* All copies of any title to motor vehicles, which are paid in full.
* List of stocks, investments, and saving bonds (including approximate market value of each)
For the verification of your credit history, you need to bring:
* Copies of credit card statements for the past six months
* List of all consumer debts (including furniture, student or car loans and other co-signed installment loans with the creditor’s contact numbers and addresses)
* Evidence or copies of rental payments or mortgage
* Documents of child support or alimony
If you have not established your credit rating, provide the lender with other information showing payment histories. These include utility payments, canceled checks or any recurring obligations.
Having these documents could speed up the process of your home mortgage loan. However, take into account that different lenders may have different information requirements. For this reason, ask your lender in advance about what to bring for your initial home mortgage interview.
