Keep your home purchase on track by avoiding these 4 things before closing day! 🚫

There are many steps to buying a home, from mortgage pre-approval to submitting an offer. ✔️

Once a seller accepts an offer, the escrow period begins. Before you're handed the keys on closing day, a lender has to approve the loan. Escrow doesn't close until the loan is funded and the final closing documents are signed. ⏰

This escrow period is crucial for the buyer! Lenders are paying very close attention during this time and these 4 things can quickly derail a transaction.

1. Employment Changes
2. Large Purchases
3. Changing Banks
4. Late Payments

Set yourself up for success and avoid hiccups during escrow for a smooth transaction.

👀 What do mortgage lenders look for? 👀

1. Creditworthiness: including history and score 💯
2. Financials: including income and assets 💰
3. Ability to repay (debt-to-income ratio) 📊
4. Loan-to-value ratio 🏠

Getting pre-approved and pre-qualified for a mortgage should be your first step in the home-buying process. Home sellers want to know that a buyer is serious and well-qualified before reviewing an offer! A pre-qualification letter and proof of funds are usually required when submitting a purchase offer.

Before a lender will pre-qualify a borrower for a mortgage, they look at several factors, including the borrower's employment history, income and creditworthiness. Lenders are looking for a strong employment history, proof of income and a good credit score. Before applying for a mortgage, make sure to have the appropriate documents ready! 📁

With financial documents in hand, the mortgage lender will determine the borrower's debt-to-income (DTI) ratio. DTI ratio is the amount of monthly debt payments to monthly income. A DTI ratio will determine what kind of monthly payment the borrower can afford and how much they can borrow.

But mortgage lenders don’t stop there! Once a home is found and a purchase offer is accepted, the lender will order an appraisal of the property. This helps determine the loan-to-value ratio. A mortgage lender needs to verify that the property is worth the amount they are willing to lend. If an appraisal determines that the property is not worth the loan amount, the purchase contract may need to be renegotiated.
