How a USA Mortgage worksUSA Mortgage Basics

The mortgage process in Florida and elsewhere in the USA is an easy one, and it goes as follows:
 

  • Loan application is taken, and all loan documents are signed with original signatures. This can be done through the mail or in person. Local loan applications can be taken at your home or office. Foreign Nationals can be dealt with in person, fax, or DHL.
     
  • If there is a contract on a property, an appraisal is made to determine the value of the home being purchased. If no contract, you can proceed for a mortgage pre approval, pending a contract for purchase.
     
  • Once received, other documentation required is put in with the loan documents, and appraisal, and the loan is at this time submitted to the loan underwriter, who is the decision-maker on the loans. Within about 24-48 hours, you will have a loan approval, and at that time the closing (completion) is scheduled.
     
  • The Title Company then provides survey and termite reports title, and the closing is set for buyer and seller to sign the final documentation. Foreign National buyers need not be present in the USA for closings. All documents can be sent via DHL for signatures to both buyer and sellers. The title company acts as a intermediate between buyer and seller, and they are also the ones who record all the final documents with the county for public record.

  •   For US buyers, there is a slightly easier process to financing. We can submit the loan through a computer generated underwriter and can have your loan approved within hours of taking your initial application. This can be done on Conventional and government loans as well. This is a much quicker and hassle free way of obtaining your financing. Documentation requirements are also much less on this form of financing as well. You can still also shop dozens of investors to make sure you are getting the lowest rate and costs available in the market today.
