Description
When a lender extends a mortgage loan to a consumer, it is done so with the acceptance of a certain level of risk based on the borrower’s willingness and ability to repay a loan. This willingness is largely determined through a consumer’s credit history. The ability is driven by the consumer’s income and assets. Knowing how to determine and document a borrower’s income and available assets will ensure that both the lender and borrower are at an acceptable level of risk at consummation.
