How Mortgage Lenders Assess an Application

Thought you might be interested in an article How Mortgage Lenders Assess an Application and thought I’d share a few points with you here. I’ve found some relevant information here so if I find more, I’ll be sure to pass it on.

One of the least-comfortable parts of obtaining a loan is having your financial activities under the scrutiny of sharp-eyed mortgage lenders examining your application.

Because each lender will have their own methods for weighting the factors they use to measure applicants, there are no definite criteria on how mortgage lenders judge their clients. Even though this can make home buyers anxious, the metric secrecy is for good reason as to prevent any fraud and manipulation.

Borrowing power.

A buyer’s capacity to afford monthly repayments while still having enough cash to spend for daily life is what matters most to mortgage lenders. They won't give away loans to just anyone, especially those they deem incapable of paying back what they owe. Banks have the responsibility to see through the lifestyle and resources of their prospective borrowers and have the right to refuse them the loan if they see that the borrowers would be unduly burdened by the debt.

Collateral.

Even if lenders are willing to give borrowers a hefty amount of money for their real estate, they want to make sure that they are not the only one who has something to lose. They will sometimes ask for something in return to know that they are dealing with a reliable and trustworthy client.
