Process of Getting Pre-Qualified by a Lender When Purchasing Your Brand New Home

By Kimberley Kelly


The first step to buying a new Lakes County Club home is going to be getting pre-qualified by a loan corporation. There are 1 or 2 ways that you can find a loan officer you would like to work with. First, if you have someone you have worked with in the past that you like you need to use them.

Also, you can ask friends and family for any referrals of a lender they had a good experience with. If you currently have a real estate agent you may ask them for one or two names of folk they like to work with and know will do a good job for you.

After you have one or two names of some loan officers, you will need to meet with them to choose which one will meet your needs the very best. Have them give you a good faith estimate so you can compare what it'll cost to buy a new home. Then, when you have decided on a bank you want to use, you may have them pull your credit to see where you stand on being able to qualify for a new mortgage.

When the bank has pulled your credit and run the numbers of your debt to revenue ratio, they'll be able to tell you if they think you would qualify for a new loan. There 2 scenarios that may happen:

First your credit score might be high enough and your debt to revenue proportion within the needed %s that you are pre-qualified for a loan. All that you need now is to choose a home.

The second thing that could occur is your credit score is high enough, but your debts to earnings proportions are too high. If this is the case your bank should be in a position to help you come up with plans to get those proportions where they have to be. If it is paying down a Mastercard balance, or clearing your automobile loan, you can certainly get your ratios where they need to be if you're happy to work on it.

The 3rd thing that can happen is that your debt to revenue proportions are in the allotted percentage, but your credit history is not high enough to qualify for the loan. Now dependent on the explanation for your credit history not being high enough you will have one or two options concerning how to bring up your total score.

You can pay off the balance of your mastercards, or if you've no credit, you may need to get a credit card or car loan to begin building a good credit history. If your score is pretty low your loan officer may suggest a credit fixing company.

Now that you have done everything required to qualify for your loan, your loan officer should go over what kind of deposit you'll need. This all depends on the sort of loan you are getting. There are many first time home buyer loans that require extraordinarily little or even no money down.

These can be area explicit, so ask your bank about the programs in your state. An FHA loan requires 3.5% of the loan sum as a down-payment, and a traditional loan can require anywhere from 5-25% down. Once you have all this information and are pre-qualified, all you need now is to find the perfect home.
