It’s no secret that the paperwork that comes with purchasing a home, borrowing from a mortgage lender and transferring property from one owner to the next can oftentimes be tedious, confusing and even overwhelming. If you’ve been considering buying one of the many beautiful homes on Lake Nacimiento but don’t quite grasp how to apply for a home loan, then you’ve come to the right place! Your first step is to team up with a professional Lake Nacimiento real estate agent, who will easily and seamlessly guide you through the process from start to finish. While mortgage applications can vary by lender and type of loan, there are universal sections across the board. By doing a bit of research into basic home loan applications, you’ll already have a good idea of what the lender is looking for and what information to have available when the time comes to send on that paperwork! Here are a few sections that you can expect on nearly every home loan application:
–Property Information: The lender is going to want to know all about the Lake Nacimiento real estate that you’re hoping to purchase. This includes basic information, such as the address, the year it was built, the structural materials and more. In this section, the lender may also ask for additional details about the type of loan you are seeking and the purpose for which you plan to use the loan.
–Borrower Information. You, the borrower, will be subject to a great deal of scrutiny when applying for a mortgage loan. They will want to know everything from your social security number and date of birth to employment and income information, so be sure to have the proper paperwork backing up this information ready if necessary. The lender will do a thorough background check and credit report on you to determine their risk to financing your purchase.
–Assets and Liabilities. The lender will want to determine your current financial state – Weighing what you own (which are considered your assets) versus what you owe (considered to be liabilities). Bank records, cash on hand, retirement funds, savings accounts, vehicles and other homes owned outright and more will contribute to your net worth. Conversely, things such as monthly bills, outstanding loans, existing mortgages and other debts will be considered liabilities. Once the lender is able to carefully tally up these items, they will make a determination on borrowing to you.
–Declarations. Expect to be asked questions about any pending or foreseeable legal problems and other things that may drastically and quickly change your financial situation. For example, are you going through a divorce? Recently filed for bankruptcy? The lender will want to know these things to assess your ability to pay back your loan. You will also be asked to confirm that you are a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident alien in order to obtain a mortgage loan.
