The Final Hurdle
Once you have found a house you like, made an offer, and been pre-approved for a mortgage by your loan officer you might think you are home free.
STOP, you still have an important hurdle to clear.
You now must get through the loan underwriting process. This can be frustrating and cause you to feel anxious because you have agreed to close on a certain contract date.
Underwriters are like detectives. It’s their job to make sure you have represented yourself and your finances truthfully, and that you haven’t made any false or misleading claims on your loan application.

Here are 4 main things an underwriter looks at:
The stability of your income as it relates to paying off debt
More debt or lack of a sufficient income can increase your perceived risk.
Your credit history
Your credit report gathers past and present debt from the three major
credit bureaus: Experian, Equifax, and Transunion
Assets needed for the loan closing
What sources did the money come from and will you have money left over after
you close?
The home appraisal
The value of your prospective home must fit the size of the loan you are seeking .
