Just like when you bought your home, youāll need an appraisal to confirm the value of your property. The appraiser will inspect your home and compare it to similar, recently sold homes in your area to determine an opinion of value.
Decrease the amount of the refinance:
In some cases, you might have to bring cash to the table to cover the difference between the loan amount and property value.
Cancel the loan:
A low home value might mean that refinancing isnāt right for you at this time.
The best-case scenario is that your appraisal comes back higher than or on par with what you expected. If a low appraisal comes backs, you do have the option of cancelling the loan, but you may still be required to pay appraisal fees and lender fees. Thatās why doing research to estimate your home value is very important.
Once the underwriter approves all the required paperwork, your loan is nearly complete. Your lender will be in touch with you to schedule your closing and review your final loan numbers.
After all your documents are submitted, Gesa will work on underwriting your loan. This is where the underwriter checks all the details on your mortgage application and supporting documentation to make sure everythingās accurate and fulfills the necessary guidelines.
Another factor to take into consideration is your DTI. DTI is all your monthly debt payments divided by your gross monthly income. DTI is one way lenders measure your ability to repay the money youāre borrowing.
Most lenders require a DTI of 45% or lower, and the maximum DTI varies by the type of loan you receive A high DTI can impact your ability to refinance or limit your refinance options. Remember that utilities, phones, etc. do not count toward your DTI. Contact a Gesa loan officer if you have any questions.
