Frequently Asked Questions About Mortgage Loans

What do lenders look for when I apply for a home loan?
Lenders typically evaluate your credit score, income, debt-to-income ratio, and overall financial stability. These factors help determine your eligibility and the rate you may qualify for.

Credit approval confirms you meet baseline lending requirements and helps lock in the best rate you’re eligible for. Vantage West reviews your full financial picture to give you clear guidance from the start.

Most home loans close in about 30 days, though timing can vary based on documentation and appraisal timelines. Staying responsive and prepared helps keep the process moving smoothly.

Refinancing can make sense if you can lower your interest rate, reduce your monthly payment, or shorten your loan term. It’s also useful if your financial situation or goals have changed since you first bought your home.

A HELOC may be a good fit if you want flexible access to home equity for projects, debt consolidation, or major expenses. It allows you to borrow what you need, when you need it, at competitive variable rates.

Yes — all applications include a hard credit inquiry, which may cause a small, temporary dip in your score. Responsible borrowing and on-time payments typically strengthen your credit over time.

Your new loan pays off your existing mortgage automatically during closing. You’ll then begin making payments solely on the new loan with your updated terms.
