How To Get A Mortgage To Buy A House

By Eddie Sexton


Many people do not have the money in their bank accounts to buy a house outright. They need to obtain financing to purchase a home. When people want to get financed for this purchase, they may apply for a mortgage from a bank or credit union. The process to apply for this loan requires that borrowers complete several steps.

The process begins with people selecting a bank or credit union with which to do business. If they have savings and checking accounts with an institution already, they may decide to keep this transaction with a place where they are already established as customers. This may be the case especially if they know the cashiers and loan officers on a first name basis.

After they choose a lender, borrowers can then fill out an application for this type of loan. The paperwork for financing can be extensive and require that clients disclose certain amounts of information. This information can be varied and require that people obtain documents such as tax records and paycheck stubs.

Loan officers also need to know details that are personal and usually not given out to the public, such as people's Social Security numbers and their given names. Even so, this information is kept confidential as it is used to run credit checks and determine a person's overall credit worthiness. People do not have to feel uncertain about giving these details.

Once the application is complete, the loan officer then determines if a person can borrow money and in what amount if the credit check is approved. Most banks will finance applicants who have good credit scores and a history of paying their bills on time. People with bad credit may be declined.

When people want to buy a house, they may need a mortgage to pay for most or all of the expense. The process of getting this loan can be extensive and require that individuals follow through for several weeks. Complying with the steps may lead to their being approved.
