04.
BEGIN LOAN PROCESSING
Although lenders conform to standards set by government agencies, loan approval guidelines vary depending on the terms of each loan. In general, approval is based on two factors: your ability and willingness to repay the loan and the value of the property.
05.
CLOSE YOUR LOAN
After your loan has final approval from the lender, you will be issued your Closing Disclosure at a minimum of three days prior to closing. This is your opportunity to review the final loan terms - such as interest rate, escrows, cash to close, etc. Also, verify that the name and address on the loan documents are accurate. The closing normally takes place in person with a notary.
