Seven steps to a mortgage
Cynthia E. Brodrick
Get your papers in order, your wallet at the ready
and your ducks in a row -- we're applying for a mortgage.
Getting a mortgage is going to take some time. You're
borrowing tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of
dollars. Even with an A-one credit rating, no one's handing over
that much money in an afternoon. You'll want to get a head start
on the mortgage process so the house of your dreams doesn't slip
through your fingers.
Borrowing huge sums of money to buy a house is a somewhat
scary yet exhilarating experience. If you're a first-time mortgage
shopper, this seven-part story will help you understand the process.
Even an experienced home buyer may be asking a few questions.
