What do I need to qualify for a home loan?

    What is the first thing to do in order to apply for a
    mortgage loan?

    The first thing you need to do is to contact me (your Loan
    Officer) 909-921-4206.  We will talk about your needs and
    financing situation and we will either start the loan by phone or
    set an appointment to meet in person.  
    Please provide as much information as you can about the
    type of property you want to purchase or refinance and answer
    all the questions honestly, don't be afraid to talk about your
    financial situation.
    This will help me find the best possible financing program for
    you and save you time. The sooner I'm aware of possible
    problems the better they will be resolved.


    What documentation will I need to bring to my
    appointment?

    It depends on different facts, but usually you will be asked to
    bring with you an ID card with picture (Driver license or ID or
    passport). Your Social Security Card. Your most recent pay
    stubs, bank statements and copies of
    your income tax returns.

    What papers will I sign on my first meeting with my loan
    officer?

    On the first interview you will usually need to sign only a loan
    application and some mandatory disclosures. There is no
    obligation on either part at this point.

    How to decide what is the best interest rate and type of
    loan for me?

    That is why your first interview is so important. When you give me
    all your information I will know what are the best programs and
    options for which you have the best chances to be approved.
    I will consider the purpose of the loan, your credit history and
    FICO score, your income/debt ratios among other facts so I can
    shop for the right loan for you.
    Then, I will show you your options and you will be able to make
    an informed decision.


    What is FICO?

    Your credit history is very important and can help you save a lot
    of money if you take good care of it. One of the factors used  to
    qualify you is your credit score,also called FICO score.
    The higher your  FICO score the better chances you'll have to
    qualify for the best interest rates and financing programs.
    FICO is a number or grade you are assigned base on your credit
    history.


    Will I need to pay any upfront costs when applying for a
    mortgage loan?

    Most of the times the first consultation is free except for a small
    fee you will have to pay to have your credit checked. Once you
    have found the house of your choice the lender will usually
    collect, in addition to the credit check fee, another fee to pay the
    appraiser.
    This varies depending on the type of loan and type of transaction
    (purchase or refinance). You will be informed upfront and clearly
    whether this fees apply to your case or not.
