Deploy A Strategic Assault On Your Mortgage Application, an article from Realty Times, examines the approach home buyers need to take when completing a mortgage application in order to "speed the paperwork through the narrowed arteries of the home loan pipeline." Here are some of the key points outlined in the article: Gather the information you'll need to support any claims made on your application. Be sure to have original copies on hand. When you sit down to complete your mortgage application, you should have the contract for the property you wish to purchase in hand. Secure a rate lock. Remain available and stay in town. Know your credit report and credit scores. AnnualCreditReport.com provides the only federally regulated provision for a free credit report.
