What Do Lenders Consider During the Home Mortgage Approval Process? [By Nathan Navachi]

This article will give you a perspective through the eyes of a bank or financial institution so that you can know what they are looking for when it comes to deciding whether or not somebody is considered a trustworthy borrower, and what goes into the mortgage preapproval process. The Difference Between Prequalified and Preapproved While people will sometimes use the words prequalification and preapproval interchangeably, these two words do not mean the same thing and it is important to understand the difference. Prequalification means that you have met with someone at a financial institution and discussed the particular issues of your personal finances such as your income, assets, commissions, and debts, and from that discussion the lender has offered an educated opinion as to how much money you are qualified to borrow. Preapproval is a much more in-depth evaluation where the financial advisor will actually go over your paperwork such as past paychecks and pay stubs, tax forms such as ...

Advantages of Refinancing Your Mortgage

When you refinance a mortgage, you use money from a new mortgage to pay off your existing one. When done at the right time, refinancing can be an excellent way of reducing your total debt or providing you with significant savings on your monthly mortgage payments. It should be noted that there are some costs associated with the process. Refinancing typically costs 3-6% of your current outstanding mortgage principal. This is mostly due to the fact that taking out a new mortgage involves payment of closing costs, and in some situations you may be liable for a prepayment penalty on your existing mortgage. In the long run, however, refinancing at the right time for the right reasons will save you more than getting that second mortgage will cost.Benefits of RefinancingFor most people, the sole benefit of refinancing is to obtain a mortgage with a lower interest rate and save money on future repayments. If you purchase your home at a time when interest rates are high, refinancing once those ...

Advantages of Mortgage Refinancing

The basic concept of mortgage refinance is that it acts as a second loan availed of on a property or home substituting any previous loan on the same property. Mortgage refinance offers low interest rate, also cuts down the loan repayment term by refinancing the house or property and in turn lowers the mortgage payment. For many people, mortgage refinance provides an opportunity to improve the monthly cash flow by helping them get back on their feet. Mortgage refinancing can be an advantageous move financially as many home owners benefit out of refinance for the purposes of either cash out or to change from an adjustable rate mortgage to a fixed rate or debt consolidation to lower their interest rate if they are either locked into an adjustable rate mortgage or fixed rate mortgage. Even though the refinancing option does not always help a person save more money, it provides a good opportunity for improving the loan terms and the benefits of debt consolidation making it an option worth c...

Refinancing a Mortgage (By David Cunningham)

Some people are very fortunate and wind up hitting the mother load by finding a timely deal with a mortgage company, obtaining a lower than typical market rate mortgage loan. Low rates are the holy grail of house buying and refinancing. If you’re a normal, every day working person, then getting a desirable mortgage rate is easier said than done.

When it comes to refinancing your mortgage, the process isn’t always as cut and dry as one would hope.

Stated Income Mortgage (By Anthony Rigney)

A stated income mortgage may be the best option for you if you have verifiable employment and an acceptable credit score (typically a FICO of 680 or higher). This type of loan is often used by self-employed borrowers because of the ease of providing less documentation. On the application you simply state your income but it must be accurate and reasonable for your job type. Self-employed borrowers must be able to show a two year employment history in the same field. This can typically be done in one of two ways; either with two years of a State Business license or a letter from your CPA. For wage-earners the verification is much simpler. Often a telephone call to the HR department of the Employer will suffice. The lender will not attempt to verify income only employment. If your loan is a SISA (state income state assets) you will also state your financial assets. On a SIVA loan (Stated income verified assets) you will be required to document your financial assets and account for any rec...
