West Pointe Mortgage Solves the Loan Process Puzzle for You!

The Mortgage Loan Process is simple and straightforward!

Step One: Making an Application
The application is the actual completion of the “application form” by the purchaser or lender
(paper or online).

  • Creating the Loan File

Purchase
The following documents are required:

  • 2 years most recent tax returns
  • last year’s W-2’s
  • 2 months most recent bank statements
  • most recent 30 day paycheck stubs
  • driver’s license

Refinance
The following documents are required:

  • 2 years most recent tax returns
  • last year’s W-2s
  • 2 months most recent bank statements
  • most recent 30 day paycheck stubs
  • homeowner’s insurance
  • homeowner’s title policy
  • survey up to 10 years old
Step Two: Appraisal/Processing
The “processor” reviews the credit reports and verifies the borrower’s debts and payment histories. The processor also reviews the appraisal and survey, and checks for property issues that may require further discernment. The processor’s job is to design an entire package that may be underwritten by the lender.

Step Three: Underwriting the Loan
The underwriter is responsible for determining whether the combined package is deemed as an acceptable loan.

Step Four: Closing
Closing typically takes from 7 to 30 days. The borrower finishes the loan process and completes the purchase.
