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.
