Loan Qualifying
Do you qualify for a mortgage loan?
When NHSKC reviews your loan application, we will look at the following factors to determine if you're mortgage-ready:
- Income
- Debt
- Credit
- Employment
- Property or collateral
- Financial resources used for closing costs
More specifically, your ability to qualify for a mortgage loan will depend on the "Four C's" of Credit:
Capacity to repay the debt depends on your earnings and employment history, expenses, number of dependents, and other obligations you have.
Credit history of how much you owe, how often you borrow, if you pay your bills on time, and if you're living within your means.
Capital, or the amount of cash you have for a down payment and settlement costs, as well as cash reserves to deal with repair or replacement expenses that may arise after you're in the home.
Collateral to protect the lender's investment if you don’t repay your loan. The home you buy must posses the worth to back up your loan.
