MortgageCast #8 | The 4-C's of Qualification
WHAT DOES GREENWAY LOOK AT TO DETERMINE IF A CLIENT IS QUALIFIED FOR A MORTGAGE?
It's called the 4-C's of mortgage qualification: Credit, Character, Capacity and Collateral.
In this latest MortgageCast from Erin the Expert, she walks us through what each is as well as what sorts of things might reduce a client's purchasing power.
The mortgage process can be daunting, especially the early stages of qualification! We ask many questions that may not seem to relate to a mortgage and request a significant amount of documentation. Guidelines have become more stringent to ensure the borrower is given a mortgage they can afford. Understanding the underwriting process can help ease stress and streamline the effort. In general, mortgage lenders like Greenway observe the 4Cs of borrower qualification – Credit, Character, Capacity and Collateral. Since every client’s financial situation and scenario varies, the 4Cs help Greenway determine if a particular borrower and property are mortgage-worthy.
You can get more information on qualification and the mortgage process by watching some of my other videos and blog posts. Check the show notes below for links to those.
I hope you enjoy and I am always ready to answer any questions you may have.
