QUALIFYING FOR A HOME LOAN

There are two basic factors used to determine whether or not you will be approved for a mortgage: Your ability and willingness to repay the loan.

Your ability to repay a mortgage is based on your income and your job stability. Generally speaking, we prefer that you be employed by the same company for two years or that you have been in the same line of work for three years.

Your willingness to repay the mortgage is determined by how you have fulfilled your previous financial commitments. That is why a credit report is necessary.

It is important to remember that each applicant is evaluated on a case by case basis. This means that although a loan program may be right for you, it may not always work for someone else. I am proud of the fact that I have helped hundreds of people become homeowners, and you can trust that I will do everything possible to see that your loan is approved.

WHERE DO YOU BEGIN?

1) Complete a Pre-Approval Application—
Becoming pre-approved before starting your home search can be very beneficial for you. First of all, it allows you to find out exactly how much home you can afford. In addition, most sellers prefer pre-approved buyers because they are less of a risk. Finally, you can generally close and move in sooner since the approval portion of the loan process has already been completed.

2) Pre-Approval Processing

• Bank Accounts

3) Obtain Your Pre-Approval Letter—

4) Locate A Property
