n How
to get approved for a mortgage
Real estate professionals say the market
is rebounding, and many would-be home
buyers are eagerly awaiting their opportunities to purchase their own homes. Fresh data
indicates that the inventory of properties
is quickly drying up and soon the market is
poised to point in the sellers' favor.
According to Allen & Associates, a real estate
appraisal, consultant and research firm based
in Colorado, properties in the area listed for
sale are below the six-month supply of inventory. Now could be the time to get a good
deal on a home, provided buyers are able to
secure mortgages.
No matter how many affordable homes are
available, if a buyer cannot get approved for a
mortgage, then his or her chances of owning
a home are slim. In the wake of a tumultuous
economy, many lenders tightened restrictions
on mortgage lending. And even though the
economy has rebounded, many lenders have
continued to follow strict guidelines before
lending money. In order to secure a mortgage
with a good interest rate, buyers must take
control of their financial situations and fix
problems that could lead to loan rejection.
Many things can impact a mortgage application. Here are the ways to overcome liabilities
and improve your standing with prospective
lenders.
n Know
your credit rating. Your credit rating is a score that lenders rely on when deciding whether or not to approve your mortgage
application. The higher the credit rating,
the more attractive you look to prospective
lenders. But the lower your score is, the
more difficulty you will have getting a loan.
Should you get a loan with a low score, you
may have to pay a higher interest rate than
someone with better credit. Prior to making
any big financial decisions, such as applying
for a mortgage, it is vital to find out your
credit score. You can request a free copy of
your credit report, which includes your credit
score, once a year from the three major credit
reporting agencies in the United States and
Canada: TransUnion, Experian and Equifax.
You also can pay for your credit report.
n Address
any issues on your report. Once
you know your score, you can take steps to
address any issues on the report. Pay down
revolving consumer debts, such as credit card
balances and auto loans. Report any errors
on your credit report so they can be adjusted.
Pay bills on time and address any notices of
collections before they make it onto your
permanent record. If you will be applying for
a loan soon, avoid opening any other credit
accounts for the time being.
n Maintain
steady employment. Having
a job is often vital to getting a mortgage.
Lenders tend to look for long-term financial
stability, which is best illustrated by maintaining steady employment. Jumping from job
to job may be a red flag to lenders, so it's
better to make a switch after you have been
approved for a loan.
n Save,
save, save. Having more money
in the bank lowers your loan-to-value ratio,
or LTV. This will make you appear less risky
to lenders. Individuals who have saved for a
considerable down payment on a home are
also seen in a better light.
n Make sure you have a credit history.
Some people are too cautious with their
credit and think closing accounts or avoiding
credit entirely will make them more attractive
to lenders. But this can backfire. Lenders will
want to see a strong credit history that indicates your ability to pay your debts on time.
n Get
a cosigner. If you are uncertain
about your ability to secure a loan on your
own, then consider a cosigner to make you
more attractive to prospective lenders. The
cosigner helps guarantee the lender that your
mortgage payments will be made.
People looking to buy a home in the near
future must make themselves attractive to
mortgage lenders, many of whom are still
reluctant to approve loans for candidates
without strong financial backgrounds.
