THE STEPS INVOLVED IN GETTING A MORTGAGE

 * calgarymortgages

Mortgage financing can be a big step, but it’s not always straightforward. This
process involves plenty of paperwork and requires significant upfront financial
preparation. That’s why it’s essential to comprehend all the steps involved in
getting a mortgage loan before you start looking for your dream house.

1. Get Preapproved for a Mortgage
The initial step in getting a mortgage is getting preapproved, which will let
you know how much you can afford to spend on a home. Doing this helps avoid
overspending and keeps your budget in check while searching for your new
property.

2. Select Your Mortgage Type
Once you’ve identified your ideal lender, the next step in getting a mortgage is
selecting one. With so many different lenders out there, do your research to
find one that meets your requirements. Speak with friends and family about their
experiences as well as check rating sites and other online resources for
opinions about each lender.

3. Consider a Down Payment
A down payment is an amount you contribute toward the purchase price of your
home that can range from as little as 3% of its value up to 20%. This reduces
your loan-to-value ratio, making the mortgage more accessible both for you and
your lender.

4. Apply for a Mortgage
Once you’ve identified the perfect lender, it’s time to apply for your mortgage.
This involves filling out an application form, providing income and asset
documentation, as well as passing a credit check.

5. Prepare for an Interview with a Lender
After applying for your mortgage, the lender will contact you to review the
application and answer any queries. The interview provides the opportunity for
you to share information about your credit history, employment status and
assets; plus it helps them assess whether there’s sufficient funding available
from their side of the table. This interview helps them decide if their loan
program works well for you.

6. Submit Your Mortgage Application and Receive Approval
After your mortgage application is approved, you can move forward with
purchasing a home. To do this, you’ll need to submit various documents such as
tax returns, pay stubs and bank statements to the lender.

7. Be Accurate with Your Information
It is essential to be truthful when filling out your mortgage application.
Additionally, include notes and explanations for anything that may appear odd on
your credit report or statement, such as a late bill payment. This helps ensure
all information provided is accurate and up-to-date.

8. Gain Knowledge About Mortgage Underwriting
A mortgage underwriter is the person responsible for reviewing your application
and deciding if you qualify for a loan. They’ll conduct an investigation into
your finances and credit history, which may take several days or weeks depending
on how many documents are needed.

9. Arrange for Appraisal and Closing
The last step in the mortgage process is an appraisal. Your lender will pay an
independent appraiser to conduct a detailed inspection of the home you’re
purchasing, which helps them decide if it’s worth borrowing the money you have
borrowed. With this appraisal in hand, they can then decide if there are any
hidden costs that need to be addressed.
