Study Notes
Mortgage Loan Origination Process
- Mortgage loan origination is the process of creating a mortgage loan. A Mortgage Loan Originator (MLO) is a licensed individual who handles loan applications and negotiates terms for compensation.
- Loan origination procedures vary by company size. Small companies might handle all aspects themselves or use contractors. Larger operations use teams to break down the process into smaller steps.
- The mortgage loan origination process includes five key steps: application, processing, underwriting, closing, and servicing.
Loan Application Step
- Loan originators (MLOs, loan officers, brokers) are the initial point of contact for lenders and borrowers.
- MLOs provide information about loan options and help borrowers complete applications.
- This involves reviewing contracts, inputting data into Loan Origination Systems (LOS), and potentially using Automated Underwriting Systems.
- They describe programs, assess loan suitability (matching borrower needs to loan terms), and verify the borrower's ability to repay. -Repaying a loan must have a clear benefit, like lower payments, interest rate, or term.
- MLOs gather information, evaluate applications, and determine loan readiness for underwriters.
- They may also help with decision-making and closing, negotiate terms, and attract applications.
- Consumers need loan program information and pricing before applying.
- Pre-qualification discusses basic qualifying information, with no firm loan commitment; this is not a commitment from the lender.
- Pre-approval is an offer from the lender. This requires a full application, credit report, and verified income and assets; it comes with a conditional promise to lend.
