The home loan process involves several steps from application to closing. Initially, borrowers submit financial documents and select a loan type. Lenders then assess eligibility based on credit history, income, and debt-to-income ratio. Upon approval, the loan goes through underwriting and appraisal. Finally, closing occurs, where all necessary paperwork is signed, and funds are disbursed. Understanding this process is crucial for navigating the complexities of obtaining a mortgage and purchasing a home.
