Tips on How to Get Approved for a Mortgage Loan by Harrine Freeman
A home is one of the largest purchases you will ever make in your lifetime. Here are some ways to ensure you get approved for a mortgage loan.
1. Proof. Showing proof that you have funds available to cover the down payment.
2. Sourced and seasoned. Sourced means the lender can determine where the assets came from. Seasoned means that the assets have been in your bank account for at least 30 days but varies by bank.
3. Debt. Pay down as much debt as possible. Your debt-to-income ratio should be 36% or less (your monthly debt divided by your monthly income).
4. Income. You must show proof of income and taxes filed for the past three years.
5. Collateral. Possessing collateral or assets such as a retirement account, stocks, bonds, a car, real estate, art, etc. eases banks fears that you will default on your mortgage loan.
6. Credit. Possess a credit score of at least 700. Explanation of any late payments in the past 2 years.
