Understanding the Mortgage Application Process with O1ne Mortgage

At O1ne Mortgage, we prioritize educating our clients about consumer credit and finance. This post aims to provide an objective view to help you make the best decisions regarding your mortgage needs. For any mortgage-related inquiries, feel free to call us at 213-732-3074.

Your Identity Will Be Verified

To ensure the security of our clients, O1ne Mortgage verifies identities to prevent fraud and identity theft. We compare personal information from your application with your credit report and examine your credit history for any signs of fraudulent activity.

Your Credit Will Be Checked

We assess your ability to manage a new mortgage payment by reviewing your income and monthly housing expenses. Credit scores play a crucial role in determining your eligibility, interest rate, and credit limit. We may request one or more of your credit reports to make an informed decision.

Application Status Updates

Our automated system quickly processes your application, and you will receive one of three outcomes:

• Approved: You will be informed of your mortgage’s annual percentage rate (APR) and credit limit. Your new mortgage account will be reported to the credit bureaus, which may take 30 to 60 days to reflect on your credit report.
• Denied: If your application is denied, the hard credit inquiry will remain on your credit report for two years. You will receive an adverse action letter explaining the reasons for denial and the credit score used.
• Further Review Needed: Sometimes, additional information is required to process your application. You may need to provide documents to verify your identity, income, or business ownership.

How Long Does It Take to Get a Mortgage?

Once approved, it typically takes one to two weeks for your mortgage documents to be finalized. If you need expedited processing, please contact us at 213-732-3074, and we will do our best to accommodate your request.

Improving Your Chances of Mortgage Approval

While approval is not guaranteed, you can take steps to enhance your chances:

• Improve Your Credit Score: Make timely bill payments and reduce credit card balances. Consider using tools like Experian Boost® to improve your credit scores.
• Thaw Your Credit Reports: Ensure your credit reports are not frozen when applying for a mortgage. You can request temporary thaws and refreeze them after submitting your application.
• Review Your Income: Include all possible sources of income on your application, such as shared household income and non-wage income.
• Get Prequalified: Use prequalification tools to check your chances of approval without affecting your credit score.
