3 Steps to Take When Applying For a Home Loan

Are you ready to apply for your first home loan? This is a very important move for you to take. You need to take it completely seriously. It needs to be done in the correct manner so that you can achieve your goal. Here are the 3 most important steps that you will need to take when you apply for a home loan.

Figure Out What You Can Afford

The first thing you will need to do is figure out just what you can afford. This means knowing how much of your own money you can throw into the pot. Beyond this amount will be the rest of the price that a bank loan will have to supply. You want to use as much of your own money as possible before you turn to conventional financing.

The key here will be to determine just how much you can afford to put down for a house while still being able to meet all of your other needs. These will include paying for food, clothing, and all of your other necessities. Once you have added up all of your various necessary deductions, the rest can go forward toward buying your new home.

You should start saving up this amount a few months in advance of applying for your loan. This way, when you do start the loan application process, you will have a reserve that you can call on. The goal will be to ask for the least amount of a loan possible. You want to be able to pay it all back with few, if any, interest charges.

You should also be saving up money in advance to cover any closing costs that you may encounter. This is the 2 to 5 percent of the final bill that may cover such topics as cover legal fees, appraisal fees, taxes, and many others. Saving up your money in advance will cover these costs so that you don’t have to ask for a bigger loan.

Make Sure Your Credit Score is Good

Another important step to take when you apply for a loan is to make sure that your credit score is in order. You want it to be as high as possible so that you will be able to get the best possible terms for your future home loan. Without good credit as a bedrock, you may get rejected or receive a less than feasible offer.


Banks will view your credit score as a handy litmus test for determining how financially viable and reliable you are. The higher your score is, the better the terms you will be able to get for your loan. For this purpose, you will want to have a credit score that is 800 or above. Whatever you can do to raise it, now is the time.

Get All of Your Documents in Order

You want to make sure that all of the documents you will need to apply for a loan are in order. These will constitute the evidence that will be needed to prove that you are a good candidate to receive this loan. You can gather up your pay stubs in order to prove that you have a reliable income to furnish the basis for repaying your loan.

A lender may also ask to see the first two pages of your tax returns from the previous two years. This means showing them your W-2 forms. If you are self-employed, there are a number of other documents that you will be asked to furnish.

You will also need to show proof of your residential history. This means showing them the lease from your current rental or any proof that you have been a homeowner in the past. This will be to prove that you can afford a mortgage.

There is no time like the present for you to get started on securing your home loan. To do it right, you need to make the best possible first impression. You’ll need to follow all of the necessary steps in order to get the loan you need in a timely manner. This will be the key to quick and easy success.
