How the Mortgage Loan Process Works

You wouldn't be here on our site if you could fill out a simple application and receive an excellent loan check cut the same day. But VALoansMN.com does the heavy lifting so you can concentrate on your life rather than the mortgage loan.
There are four important steps involved in obtaining a mortgage loan.
Step one: determine how much you can borrow
This is a function of a couple things. How much of a monthly payment can you afford? What is the maximum you can borrow from a lender, given your income and credit history? You can get a good idea of your preferred payment abount using the calculators on our website. And we can guide you to the right loan amount and best program for you when you answer a few quewstions. Because lender guidelines are fairly standard, we can give you a good idea of how much you can borrow after a short conversation.
Step two: complete a pre-qualification
This is where the process really begins and VALoansMN.com can really save you money. You will give us info on your current job, your assets, and your residence history. You'll supply information on your employment, asset, and residence history. We pull your credit score and report. We'll go over this information and will provide a pre-qualification letter.
