[9]
cool is that good
[11]
[Music]
[14]
having a general understanding of the
[15]
mortgage loan underwriting process
[18]
is going to help you understand once
[20]
you're in the process what to expect
[22]
and you know what is an underwriter
[24]
looking for generally speaking the
[25]
mortgage underwriting process works
[27]
something like this
[28]
your application that you fill it out
[30]
and the documents that you've been
[31]
gathering
[32]
things like pay stubs w-2s that you
[35]
gave to your loan officer they're going
[37]
to package it
[39]
submit it to an underwriter the
[40]
underwriter is going to start going
[41]
through everything and analyzing your
[44]
documents and financial
[46]
risk profiles underwriters are concerned
[47]
about risk they want to make sure that
[49]
you are a good
[51]
solid borrower who is capable of making
[54]
this hundreds of thousands of dollars of
[57]
a loan amount back to them
[59]
and that they can rely on that so to
[62]
analyze that and to figure out if this
[64]
is something that you know you're
[66]
qualified
[67]
and capable of they're looking at three
[69]
things and they're known as the three
[71]
c's
[72]
and that is credit collateral and
[74]
capacity
[75]
the first c has to do with credit and
[78]
they're gonna look at your credit score
[79]
they're gonna look at your payment
[81]
history
[82]
they're looking at your credit report
[84]
they wanna know that you can
[86]
handle a mortgage payment and making
[89]
that payment
[90]
religiously every month they want to
[92]
make sure that that's something that
[93]
you've had practice doing whether with a
[95]
credit card or a car loan
[97]
something like that so they're going to
[99]
look and evaluate also your score
[101]
to determine how well you are able to
[104]
manage your credit the second c they're
[106]
looking at is collateral
[107]
there's kind of two aspects to it one
[110]
they're looking at
[111]
how much you're putting down so you know
[114]
how much skin do you have in the game
[116]
and then they're also considering the
[117]
home value
[119]
and that's why they're most likely going
[120]
to condition for an appraisal to be
[122]
ordered on the
[123]
property because they want to make sure
[124]
that the lender is actually getting a
[127]
good investment
[128]
and that that home is worth what it's
[129]
actually worth and
[131]
that it makes sense for the loan the
[133]
third c they're looking at is capacity
[135]
and that really has to do with
[136]
your income and your assets they're
[138]
looking at can you handle
[141]
with the income that you are bringing in
[142]
with the other debt payments that you
[144]
may have
[145]
because it's very common to have credit
[147]
cards and car loans in addition to a
[149]
mortgage payment
[150]
sometimes installment loans or student
[151]
loans they want to make sure that you
[153]
have the capacity to make all those
[155]
payments and that it's sustainable and
[156]
that not
[157]
a hundred percent of your income is
[160]
going
[160]
towards just bills so they want to make
[162]
sure that that is going to be
[164]
sustainable you're going to be able to
[166]
make your payment now and in the future
[168]
computer programs
[169]
and guidelines are used and
[173]
those all help the underwriter make sure
[175]
that this is a qualified borrower a
[178]
qualified loan
[179]
something that is safe and a good
[181]
investment for the lender and for the
[183]
borrower the underwriting process can
[184]
take anywhere from a few days to
[186]
sometimes weeks it really just depends
[188]
on
[189]
the loan program it depends on if
[191]
there's delays from third parties such
[193]
as
[193]
title it also depends on if there are
[196]
documents missing
[198]
or conditions are taking a long time to
[200]
get backed so
[201]
it's very much a collaboration and
[205]
team effort between the underwriter your
[207]
loan officer and yourself to provide
[209]
those documents to get those conditions
[211]
cleared by the underwriter
[213]
so that eventually you will be able to
[215]
get to the
[216]
clear to close where the underwriter
[217]
says you are golden
[219]
we are good to close your loan and you
[221]
can sign your documents once your loan
[223]
has been submitted to underwriting and
[225]
you receive a
[226]
conditional loan approval back that's
[229]
when your loan officer will reach out to
[230]
you with whatever conditions
[232]
they may need your help with on
[235]
sometimes those conditions
[236]
you know they don't need your help with
[238]
and other times they are
[240]
things like getting an updated pay stub
[242]
or bank statement
[243]
so it's important to work with your loan
[246]
officer to have really great
[247]
communication to make sure that that's
[248]
streamlined so that
[250]
that process of getting those conditions
[251]
back is very quick and then you can
[254]
your loan officer will quickly resubmit
[256]
everything
[257]
back to the underwriter for a final
[259]
review once your
[260]
conditions have had that final review
[263]
the underwriter has said
[264]
yes we're great they've got everything
[266]
that we need everything looks great
[268]
and i'm going to give this a clear to
[270]
close then
[271]
that's when we can start to set up the
[273]
signing with the notary
[275]
and work towards that closing process
[277]
and it's important when you're going to
[279]
be signing your loan documents that you
[280]
understand
[281]
and watch this video here where i go
[283]
over the top documents that you want to
[286]
know
[286]
to expect and see when you are signing
[290]
