The mortgage loan process is rather big and in most cases a bit complex. Although there are many resources available over the net that could make this mortgage process comparatively easier in terms of decision making. Discussed below are a few steps involved in a mortgage loan process.
The mortgage loan process involves the following steps: Pre-Qualification for the mortgage loan Pre-qualification is the first step in the mortgage loan process happens after the initial contact is made. In this step the lender gets access to the income and debts of the buyer and decides as to how much debt he can actually afford to take. After this a borrower gets a pre-qualification notice for the loan.
Application for the loan In this step the mortgage borrower completes necessary applications and provides documents for verification and processing. The borrower receives a good faith estimate and truth in lending statement depending on the negotiations for downpayments and interest rates.
Mortgage loan processing The loan processing is done by a mortgage loan processor who verifies all documents along with the borrower's debts and credit history. He then gets together a loan package that can be underwritten by the lender
Lender underwriting The next step is lender underwriting which would involve the lender verification of the details provided by the mortgage processor. In case of addition documentation the borrower is contacted again.
Mortgage insurance underwriting Mortgage insurance is required if the buyer pays a low downpayment (less than 20% of the loan). The loan is forwarded to a insurance provider who provides insurance to the lender for the repayment of the loan.
Mortgage loan closing This is the final step that takes place usually 30 - 45 days after the application of loan. At this point the borrower can buy the home. These are the various steps involved in securing a mortgage loan.
