Lending and underwriting has become increasingly difficult. When applying for a
mortgage please remember the following to ensure as few problems as possible.
1) Avoid large transactions to and from you primary bank account being used for funds to close.
All large (defined mostly by your monthly income) transactions will need to be verified and
documented.
2) There is a process for gift funds, which requires certain documents. DO NOT accept cash gifts
as these are not eligible funds to close. The process requires a gift letter, personal check,
deposit of gift check and proof the donor had the funds to give in the first place. These are both
FHA and Conventional loan requirements.
3) All funds to close, including deposit and other checks given, must be verified (copies of
cancelled checks) Use a personal account, not business. If other people are on the account, you
will need a letter from that individual granting your use of those funds.
4) Do not apply for additional credit or increases to existing credit. Make all credit payments
timely, as your credit will be "refreshed" prior to close per recent guideline changes. Any
negative changes could cause your loan to be denied. You will need to explain all recent credit
inquiries and if there is any new debt as a result.
5) Keep copies of all your documents.
6) Funds at closing will need to be either wired or certified check, depending on the title
company requirements.
