This is perhaps the most important part of the mortgage process. During this process your Loan Mortgage representative will ask for information pertaining to your income, assets and liabilities. Once this information has been collected your Loan Mortgage Representative will recommend a loan program that best fits your financial needs. Prior to loan application you will need to determine the amount of down payment you will be making towards your new home and collect the following documents that should be brought with you when you make loan application:
- Most recent paycheck stubs for each borrower covering the most recent thirty-day period.
- Most recent two years W-2's and/or 1099's for each borrower.
- Two months of the most current and consecutive banks/investment/ retirement statements for all your accounts.
- If self-employed you will need to bring in the most recent two years' tax returns and copies of 1040's, W-2's, 1099's and or K-1 for each borrower. You will also need a year-to-date profit and lossstatement.
A credit report will be obtained as part of the loan application process. The credit report will show your payment history, credit limits, monthly payments and current balances.
We will verify the information disclosed on your initial loan application (i.e. income, assets and liabilities).
Joe Stachon Mortgage LLC, will order a property appraisal from a licensed real estate appraiser on the property in which you are purchasing. The appraisal is done to determine the value on the property being purchased and your loan amount.
A loan decision will be issued based on four factors - income, assets, credit record, and property value. An Underwriter will review the information on your loan application and the information collected on your behalf. Additional information or documentation as required by the loan program gudelines may be requested.
You have the opportunity to establish an interest rate guarantee or "lock" the interest rate during the process up to ten days before your closing. Keep in mind that interest rates may change somewhat each day. Only you can make the decision to lock the interest rate on your loan.
It is your responsibility to contact your LoanMortgage representative to determine the interest rate and lock in your loan. Keep in mind that interest rates can change at any time and without notice. Rates generally change a little bit each day, sometimes better - sometimes worse. Sometimes rates can change several times a day. If you know that the financial markets are going through a particularly volatile period, you may want to check with your Loan representative periodically to make sure rates are at a comfortable level.
Joe Stachon Mortgage LLC, and our closing agent will coordinate a firm closing date and time with you.
Schedule a final walk-through of your new home before closing to make sure it is ready for you and to ensure that any contingencies specified in the commitment letter about the home's condition have been satisfied.
Prior to the closing you must obtain homeowner's insurance with a carrier of your choice. This information must be provided to Joe Stachon Mortgage LLC, within 72 hours of closing. Your Loan representative will provide you with the amount you will need to bring to closing. Funds needed for closing must be in the form of a certified check or cashier's check.
Your Loan representative will go over the settlement charges with you and have you execute the Note and other applicable closing documents.
