cassie c | How long does it take to get a mortgage? |

About a week for paperwork to be assessed and then accepted or declined. It takes a week or so longer to get the money sorted if it's accepted. |

Anything from 4 weeks to 6 months. It depends on your financial position, the survey on the property you're buying and any other points the surveyor might raise. Seek out a financial adviser who doesn't charge, but gets commission from the mortgage companies. They do the hard work and make it easy for you |

I have closed loans in less than a week, and my oldest one was 16 months old (it was new construction property).
there are WAY too many factos that can come into play.
if you are a typical middle aged, middle class American, in a typical mortgage loan transaction, it should take 3-4 weeks tops. |

We got an AIP (agreed in principal) on the same day that we saw the mortgage broker and moved into our house 2 1/2 months later.

It can take 4 days or 4 months. Good paperwork, no surprises and willing parties lean toward the quicker closing. Bad credit, missing statements, different numbers tend to stretch the deal. Need help call 516 535 5800 ext 239. Mortgage Consultant. |

Depends what type of loan. If it is an A-paper loan (fannie mae / Freddie Mac) they can take 2-3 weeks.
If it is a subprime loan, I have had borrowers signing loan docs in 3-4 business days after I initially ran credit. (rare) Typically its 14-21 days for subprime. They just happened to already have the appraisal done exc...
Also Home Equity lines are pretty quick and easy to apply. Usually 5-10 business days. |

Depends on your credit, your down payment and how fast your income can be verified.
Start to finish , mine took about 60 days but I was holding out for the lowest possible interest rate , getting quotes from several lenders - got a 5 3/8% on a 30 year fixed.
ps: getting the prequalification is fast and speeds things up when you find the property you want. |
