Be Prepared for Your Will County or
Chicagoland Mortgage Application. Start Gathering These Documents NOW!
Thinking about Buying a Home or Refinancing soon?
Read on and be better prepared when applying for your new Mortgage.
The news and blogs are currently filled with stories regarding the huge and sometimes overwhelming demand for documentation during the mortgage lending process. There is much talk regarding the number and kind of requests currently made for proof of finances, payments, credit, and more by Mortgage Lender and Underwriters during the processing of loans.
It's my opinion that we won't see these requests disappearing or even lessening in number anytime soon. I also think that arguing about or protesting these requests is a waste of time in the majority of cases. Compliance is typically the best route and the sooner compliance is achieved, the better ... as it increases the likelihood that the financing will reach a successful conclusion.
To hit the floor running and to be most effective during the application and processing portion of the transaction, I like my clients to be aware and educated in advance as to what the typical expectations and requests for documentation will be for their mortgage loan. I also make them aware that they may be asked for additional documentation and clarifications as we proceed through their mortgage's underwriting.
In order to make it as easy as possible on my clients and referral partners, I provide a handy list on my website, www.genemundt.com, showing those documents typically required for application of loan. Providing this Mortgage Application Checklist has proven extremely helpful to my clients and saved time during processing, which is immensely important and valuable when working towards successful Closings on dates written into Sales Contracts.
Although differing states may demand additional documentation to what is shown on my Mortgage Application Checklist, the list provided below still provides a good basis and knowledge for any upcoming transaction.
