Whether this is your first time buying a home or you’re refinancing your existing home loan, you’remaking a great choice—and Planet Home Lending will be your true partner every step of the way.  \nThis guide walks you through your mortgage process, from beginning your application to closing and funding your loan. On average, the mortgage process takes about 30 days from beginning to end, but each step is important to keep your application moving along.  \nTo make it as fast as possible, stay in touch with your mortgage loan originator and answer requests for additional documents quickly. Ask any questions you may have at any time. We’re happy to help! After all, our motto is,“We’ll get you home.”  \n4  \n1 APPLYING FOR A  \nMORTGAGE  \nThe mortgage process begins with your application. The Uniform Residential Loan Application, or URLA, makes sure everyone is on the same page—literally. It may look long, but don’t be intimidated! All your documentation falls into four simple categories:  \nIncome and Employment, Assets, Credit, and Property.  \nPlanet makes it easy to apply in person at one of our many branches, or via our secure online portal. Infact, if you have your financial information at hand, it can take less than an hour. Here’s a checklist to get you ready.  \nINCOME AND EMPLOYMENT  \nThese items lay out your finances and help us find all your home loan options. Your home loan professional will tell you exactly which ones they need for processing your mortgage loan application, but you can expect them to include things like:  \n• Most recent pay stubs for 1 month  \n• W-2s for the past 2 years  \n• Personal Federal tax returns for the past 2 years  \nASSETS  \nThis information shows where you’ll get the money to pay your home loan, down payment, and closing costs, and could include: Past 2 months of bank and investment statements.  \n• A gift letter including your donor’s personal information, if applicable  \n• Donor and borrower bank statements showing gift money has transferred  \nAPPLYING FOR A  \nMORTGAGE CONTINUED...  \nCREDIT AND IDENTITY  \nLenders check credit during the mortgage approval process to prove you’ve done a good job managing debt in the past, and will need paperwork such as:  \n• Letter of explanation for any late payments, collections, charge offs, or derogatory credit  \n• Letter of explanation for all recent credit inquiries  \n• Divorce decree, if any  \nPROPERTY  \nThis information tells us about the home you’re buying,","cbCaikZ6TWjeoL1S","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikZ6TWjeoL1S","pdf",671542,"English","# Mortgage Loan Process Overview\n## Applying for a Mortgage\n## Mortgage Documentation Categories\n# Mortgage Types and Eligibility\n## Fixed-Rate Loans\n## FHA Home Loans\n## Jumbo Home Loans\n## VA Home Loans","[{\"question\":\"What are the four main categories of documentation needed for a mortgage application?\",\"answer\":\"Documentation is grouped into income and employment, assets, credit and identity, and property information for the home being purchased or refinanced.\"},{\"question\":\"How long does the mortgage process typically take?\",\"answer\":\"The guide states that, on average, the process takes about 30 days from beginning to end, with each step important to keep the application moving.\"},{\"question\":\"What should borrowers do to avoid delaying or harming their approval?\",\"answer\":\"The guide advises avoiding actions that can negatively influence credit, assets, or income—such as taking out new loans, opening new credit cards, spending savings, or quitting a job—while the process is underway.\"}]","THE MORTGAGE LOAN PROCESS MADE EASY - A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE | PDF",1789521556,6]
