THE MORTGAGE LOAN PROCESS

/RDQ$SSOLFDWLRQ 3UHTXDOL´FDWLRQ

The first step in the Mortgage Process is to complete a full loan application. Once your application is received, an experienced Mortgage Professional will help explain di‡erent financing options that are best suited for your goals. This beginning stages of the process does not guarantee an approval for a mortgage, however it does provide the knowledge required to set realistic expectations in respect to spending limits. Documentation Financial documents supporting the mortgage application must be submitted and verified by underwriters. Documentationcommonly requested (but not limited to) would include 30 dayspaystubs, 2 years complete tax returns, 2 years W2’s and 1099’s, photo ID’s for all applicants, current checking and savings account statements, and recent retirement/investment account statements. If you have experienced a divorce or bankruptcy, supporting documentation will be required. Home Shopping Now that the pre-approval is in place, you can begin the process of shopping for your dream home! You might consult with your realtor about your needs and prepare a list of available inventory that suits your search criteria. When the perfect home is located, Nathaniel will present your o‡er to the seller. Begin the Loan Process When all parties have agreed to the terms of the sales contract, you will meet with your loan ošcer to discuss the di‡erent financing options you may qualify for. When the type of mortgage, and

term, has been determined, you will sign the Loan Application and the Loan Estimate. This document is not 100% accurate in the early stages,

however, it does provide you with a realistic picture of your transaction.

DOCUMENTS NEEDED TO PROCESS YOUR LOAN

• Copy of drivers license • 30 days paystubs

• Most recent last two year's and/or 1099's • Most recent last two year's federal tax returns and all schedules • 60 days of bank statements. Must be all pages even if blank and have transaction and balance history on them. • Current asset statement (401k/IRA/mutual funds/ etc)

Down the road: • Homeowners insurance agent name and number • Canceled earnest money check

HOME LOAN PROCESS

1

PRE-QUALIFICATION & DOCUMENTATION The first step is to complete a full loan application, which can be done online or with the assistance of your loan ošcer. Once your application is received your loan ošcer will guide and help determine which loan program best fits your needs while informing you of the needed documentation to move forward with the process.

2

START SHOPPING FOR YOUR NEW HOME This is the fun part; you can work with a licensed real estate professional that will help find that house you can call home! Along the way, they will assist in making sure you are aware of any unseen or unnoticed issues to insure you are buying with confidence. Once you find the right place they will work on your behalf for the best terms and price of the sale. BEGIN THE LOAN PROCESS Once all parties have agreed to the terms of the sales contract, your loan ošcer will begin collecting information to provide the best program options and terms available. A Loan Estimate will be provided to detail the loan specifics such as the interest rate, monthly payment and total closing costs. The Loan Estimate shows you what loan terms the lender expects to o‡er if you decide to move forward. If you decide to move forward, the loan ošcer will ask for additional financial information for the processing of the loan.

UNDERWRITING A Mortgage Underwriter’s job is to assess the risk of lending you, the applicant, money to purchase your home. They consider factors such as credit history, employment history and income when determining whether to approve the loan.

INSPECTION & APPRAISAL Your Realtor can recommend a capable home inspector for a thorough inspection of the property. The inspector will check for any structural and/or material defect, items you will want to know about before your purchase. After the inspection is complete your loan ošcer will place the order for your appraisal and a licensed appraiser will be randomly selected to complete the order.

6

CONDITIONAL APPROVAL Once the underwriter has reviewed all the documentation provided for the buyer and it meets the minimum requirements they will issue a “conditional approval,” however this approval will still have a few items needed to get a final approval.

7

FINAL APPROVAL & CLOSING Once the additional items from the conditional approval have been obtained the underwriter signs o‡ giving it a clear to close. The file will now move into closing. This is where we get the paperwork ready for you to sign and move the money to the title company to pay for the home.

MORTGAGE DOs & DONTs DOs:

• KEEP ALL RECORDS AND DOCUMENTS IN GOOD ORDER

• AVAILABILITY - Keep your financial records close at hand in case updates are requested.

• INCOME - Be aware that underwriters typically verify your income and tax documents through your employer(s), CPA, and/or IRS tax transcripts. Hold onto new paystubs as received.

• ASSETS - Continue saving account statements. Keep all numbered pages of each statement. Ex. 8 of 8.

• GIFTS - If you’re receiving any gift money from relatives, they’ll need to sign a gift letter (we’ll provide) and an account statement evidencing the source, which must be “seasoned” funds. • CURRENT RESIDENCE - If you’re renting, continue paying your rent on time and save proof of payment. If you’re selling your current residence, be prepared to show your closing disclosure. If you’ll be renting your home, you may need to show sušcient equity, a lease and receipt of the first month’s rent and security deposit. • KEEP YOUR CREDIT SHINING - Continue making payments on time. Your credit report may be refreshed, and any negative change to your report could cause you to lose your approval and your home. • UNDERSTAND THAT THINGS HAVE CHANGED - Underwriters require more documentation than in the past. Even if requests seem silly, intrusive or unnecessary, please remember that if they didn’t need it, they wouldn’t ask.

DONTs: • APPLY FOR NEW CREDIT - Changes in credit can cause delays, change the terms of your financing or even prevent closing. If you must open a new account (or even borrow against retirement funds), please consult with us first. • CHANGE JOBS DURING THE PROCESS - Probationary periods, career or even staus changes (such as from a salaried to a commisioned position, leave of absence or new bonus structure) can be subject to very strict rules. • MAKE UNDOCUMENTED DEPOSITS - Primarily large but sometimes even small deposits must be sourced unless they are identified. Make copies of checks and deposit slips. Make sure you keep all documents on any large deposit. • WAIT TO LIQUIDATE FUNDS FROM STOCK OR RETIREMENT ACCOUNT - If you need to sell investments, do it now and document the transaction. Don’t take the risk that the market could move against you leaving you short of funds to close.

Understanding Your Credit Score

30% Amounts Owed

Having credit accounts and owing money on them does not necessari- ly mean you are a high risk borrower. However, when a high percentage of a person’s available credit has been used, this can indicate that a person is overextended.

35% Payment History

The first thing any lender wants to know is whether you’ve paid past credit accounts on time. This is one of the most important factors in a credit score.

10% New Credit

Research shows that opening several accounts in a short period of time represents a greater risk – especially for people who don’t have a long credit history.

10% Types of Credit Used

15% Credit History

In general, a longer credit history will increase your credit scores.

Credit scores will consider your mix of credit cards, retail accounts, installments loans, finance company accounts and mortgage loans

Tips to improve your credit score. • Always pay your bills on time. • Pay down your credit card balances. • Never max out your credit cards.

• Pay o‡ debt rather than moving it around. • Don’t open more credit cards than you need. • Shop for loans within a focused period of time. • Regularly check your credit report.
