How Will My Bank Statements Affect My Loan Application?



You’ve found the greatest little house in the world. You’ve called the real estate office and made and offer on the house. You hope your financials will be okay, but you’re just not sure. What can you do to make sure that your next call is to the moving company?

When the mortgage company asks for information, they just want to be sure that you will be able to easily make those monthly payments. Your W-2s, bank statements, and cancelled checks all paint a picture of your reliability. Almost everyone has a few NSF checks among the records.

You’re not the only that has made a few late payments. That alone will not affect your ability to purchase a new home, but your lender may ask you for more information. It’s necessary and helps get you that pre-qualification that makes shopping for a home that much more enjoyable and ensure the Realtor that they have a good prospect who is ready and able to buy.

Mortgage lenders want your business. They will work with you to be sure that you are comfortable with the terms of the loan and that they can be certain you will be able to make those payments on time without over extending yourself or your family.

What if I’m Pre-Approved?
Even if you have been pre-approved for the loan, you may still be asked to provide further information in the form of tax returns or paycheck stubs. Don’t worry. It isn’t personal.

If you are a first-time buyer, you lack a track record for payments other than rentals. Your rental receipts may show that you are paying regularly on time. Be sure you keep them to prove your responsibility. In the current economy, your mortgage lender is looking out for you as well as for bank. Indigo Mortgage has many different programs to help get you into a home of your own and we want to make sure we put you in the right program for your situation.
