Mortgage Application Online

Filling out a mortgage application online consists of providing appropriate personal information that pertains to the purchase or refinance of a parcel of real property. To fill one out, a prospective borrower must review a mortgage lenders website and click on a category labeled "apply now". This will bring the borrower to a form that allows for the input of information. Once completed, the mortgage application on line is then sent via Internet to a mortgage lender or brokerage. They evaluate the information provided on the form and usually pre-qualify or deny the applicant for a mortgage within 72 hours.

The applicant is notified of the status of their application via email or telephone communications. Note that a credit report will be pulled by one or more lending companies to determine if an individual is credit worthy for the amount of loan requested. The next step for the applicant is to find a home that they wish to purchase, estimate the value, and fill out another mortgage application on line that compares the loan amount previously requested with the actual amount needed to purchase the home. These two steps can be combined in one form if the borrower has already decided on the specific home for purchase or refinance.

Keep in mind that if the mortgage application on line steps are done separately, the chances of lenders pulling an additional credit report is high. Each time an inquiry for a credit report is made, the borrower's credit score will drop by one point. Credit scores are the leading factor in determining what the interest rate available for the borrower will be. An alternative to filling out a form on the web is the telephone application. If the borrower already knows his/her current credit score, everything in their power should be done to refrain the lender from pulling a credit report until absolutely necessary. A good lender or brokerage will understand and abide by the borrower concerns. "Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed" (Psalm 37:3).

The information that is needed on a mortgage application online consists of name, address, phone number, and email address. Employment length and monthly income are also required, as well as any checking account and savings account information. All net worth such as 401k's and Life Insurance policies, IRA's and stocks are considered and evaluated for placement in a loan program that is most beneficial to each individual. It is advised that an applicant be sure that the mortgage application online webpage is secure before inputting any personal or financial information.
