5 Tips to Fast Home Loan Approval
Although every bank has its own individual assessment criteria for a home loan there are some common features which every bank will cover when you make your application. Let’s look at a typical first home borrower and list some of the things that the bank will be looking at.
- Employment History. Every lender will want to make sure that the borrower is currently in employment and has a history of steady employment. Normally a first-time borrower should be able to demonstrate an employment history of at least one year in permanent full-time employment. In some cases the bank will require a longer period of employment depending on the industry and the amount of money applied for.
The home loan application process
The first thing that you absolutely need to know about the process of applying for a home loan is this: Do not be intimidated.
For many first time home owners, it can be a little imposing walking into a loan agency and asking for a mortgage. Just bear in mind that these lenders and agencies would not be in business in the first place if they did not want your business. Right now, lenders are competing with one another to offer lower prices and better service to their borrowers, agencies are trying to find the best deal possible in order to secure more customers, and real estate is becoming something of a buyer’s market.

Are you ready to be a homeowner?
There is certainly no doubt that everybody wants to own a home. To not have to pay rent, to have some equity, and, hopefully, to have something that actually builds value over time, perhaps providing you with a sufficient fund for when you reach retirement.

Getting a low interest rate on your home loan
It really is everyone’s dream to be a homeowner. More than simply having a house to live in, we want to own our homes outright…to owe money to nobody. Unfortunately, what gets a lot of us is the interest rate. We manage to pay off the value of our home, but now we’ve got a whopping ten percent interest, or more, to pay off.
That’s how banks make their money. When you think about it, all a bank does is take money from one person and loan it to another. The people who loan their money to the bank (this is what investment accounts are all about) earn a small amount of interest on the deal. The people who borrow from the bank pay a large enough interest to cover the investment account holder’s interest, and to keep the bank running and to make sure it makes a profit out of the transaction.

Different types of home loans
We list below a brief explanation of each of the more common types of home loans available to home owners and home buyers. Before you go to one of the sites like wikianswers or Yahoo! Answers (and sorting through a dozen spam comments) give this page a quick look as most likely you’ll find your answers here.
Mortgages
There are a dozen different types of mortgages, but in the interest of simplicity, we’ll just explain the basic idea behind a mortgage which is that you take out a loan using the home you intend to buy as collateral against the loan. If you fail to make payments, the lender will ultimately have the right to your home and can foreclose or sell it. Mortgages do come with interest rates, like any other loan.
Subprime Lending
Subprime lending refers to a lender providing credit to borrowers who don’t yet meet prime underwriting guidelines. Subprime borrows have a higher perceived risk. This lending is applied to people with a history of delinquency or defaulting, those with bad credit, or those simply with limited debt experience (eg students).
