Initial Mortgage Loan Interview - mortgagesfirst.com

Your Initial Meeting with a Professional at Mortgages First

The loan approval process generally begins with an initial interview where you and a mortgage professional discuss the potential loan. You will need to send information to us to verify your income and long term debts.
You may prefer to talk with Mortgages First Associates, LLC before house hunting to determine in advance and the mortgage amount for which you can qualify. This step is called pre-qualification and can save you time and trouble by making certain you are looking in the correct price range.
To complete the 1003 Mortgage Application, you will need to gather:
A purchase contract for the house (if you have one)
Your bank account numbers and the address of your bank branch, along with checking and savings account statements for the previous 2-3 months
Pay stubs, W2 withholding forms, tax returns for two years, or other proof of employment and income verification
Credit card bills for the past few billing periods, or canceled checks for rent or utility bill payments, to show payment history and amount of revolving debt
Information on other consumer debt such as car loans, furniture loans, student loans and retail credit cards
Balance sheets and tax returns, if you are self-employed
Any gift letters, if you are using a gift from a parent or relative or other organization to help pay the down payment and/or closing costs. This letter simply states that the money is in fact a gift and will not have to be repaid.
Having these items on hand when you visit the mortgage company will help speed up the application process. Usually an appraisal fee will have to be paid when you submit the mortgage application. After you speak with us, you should have a general idea if you qualify for the size and type of loan you want. After the mortgage application, we will let you know if you qualify for the loan within a couple of days.
