Things to be aware of
Ensuring your paperwork is up-to-date is crucial, requiring you to promptly provide any newly available pay stubs and bank statements during the underwriting process.
Once your final loan package is submitted, the underwriters will assess the property, title, and the information you've supplied. The duration for final approval and the conditions list, ranging from a few days to several weeks, depends on factors such as obtaining a final letter of explanation for credit report findings, an official verification of employment, and an updated hazard insurance policy from your home insurance agent.

Avoid applying for new credit or settling old collections.
