When do I get the keys to my new home?

This will depend on the seller’s terms. There are situations where this can be negotiated, but the keys are normally given to a buyer after the loan has funded. If you are trying to occupy your home before the loan funds, you will need to get that included in the contract. Talk to your real estate agent about early occupancy if you need to move into a home before it can close.

What happens after the loan is closed?

There are three steps in the closing process: 1. Going to signing, where those who are purchasing the home and the sellers sign all of the documents. 2. Those are sent back to the lender, who then agrees that it’s good to go and funding is approved. 3. Your loan records with the county/state. Funding is the actual act of the lender wiring the loan amount funds to the title company, who will then release the funds to the seller. Once this happens, the purchase will be recorded with the county. Once that is done, the buyer receives the keys.

What are some things I shouldn’t do when waiting for a house loan to close?

If you’ve already completed the application, had your offer accepted by the seller, and are now in underwriting, you are still under scrutiny. Your credit, employment, and finances are being watched, and they will be checked until you close your loan. During this time and until the loan has funded and you’ve signed the papers, do not: 1. Open a credit card. 2. Buy a new car. 3. Change jobs, or quit your job. 4. Spend all of your savings. If you have a desire to do any of those things, wait until after your loan closes.

What happens after I put in an offer on a home?

Depending on the terms in your offer, the seller usually has a short window of time to respond to your offer, either with a counteroffer, declination, or acceptance of your offer. Your real estate agent is your advocate in this transaction and will negotiate on your behalf, or decline a counteroffer for you. Getting your offer accepted is just one of many steps in the home-buying process.

What happens when I find a house I want to buy?

You put in an offer! First, though, you should be preapproved. The preapproval letter is a great way to show the home seller that you’re serious and that you can back up your offer. Depending on the real estate market in your area, getting preapproved before you find a home may be a good idea.

What is the debt-to-income ratio?

There are many things we take into consideration when evaluating a loan application. One main determining factor is your debt-to-income ratio. The debt-to-income ratio is exactly what it sounds like: it’s the amount of debt you have compared to your income. For example, say you and your partner make $7,000 a month before taxes (your gross income), but you have student loans, a credit card payment, and a car loan that equates to $1,000. That makes your current debt-to-income ratio would be 14.

What can I do to prepare for a home loan application?

While the ideal situation would allow for you to save a large amount of cash for a large down payment, that isn’t always possible. Save what money you can, but aside from that, you can begin getting your affairs in order so as to prove who you are, that you are employed, and that you have sufficient cash to close.

What is a mortgage loan?

A mortgage loan, also referred to as simply a mortgage is a loan offered to a person/entity in order to purchase real property. A mortgage can also be used to place a lien on a property being mortgaged in order to raise funds for whatever reason. This is often referred to as a second mortgage.
