A \u201cTBD underwritten mortgage approval\u201d is a fully underwritten loan commitment in which an underwriter provides conditional approval for a mortgage loan even before the borrower has chosen a property. With a TBD or \u201cTo Be Determined\u201d underwritten mortgage approval, some of the most important transaction details, including the property address, appraisal, and sales price, are still unknown.\u00a0 At Mortgage Equity Partners, we refer to this as our Cash Ready Plus Buyer program, which was designed to make our North Carolina borrowers just as competitive as cash buyers.<\/p>\n
All real estate and mortgage professionals highly recommend that you get pre-approved before beginning the home search. Pre-approval<\/a> involves a preliminary review of the borrower\u2019s financial documents and credit history to determine the amount of mortgage they are likely to qualify for. After getting pre-approved, the borrower can start the home search, but when they find the property, they will need to provide additional documentation and begin the home loan process. Start the pre-approval<\/a> process today!<\/p>\n With a TBD underwritten mortgage approval, all necessary financial documentation (income, assets, credit, etc.) has already been provided and reviewed by underwriting, even though the property details have not been finalized. The underwriter assesses the borrower\u2019s financial situation and issues a conditional approval. The conditional approval includes specific conditions the borrower must meet to finalize the mortgage approval once they choose a property. These conditions may include providing additional documents, verifying employment, and satisfying any outstanding requirements. Once this is done, most of the heavy lifting has been done.<\/p>\n After receiving conditional approval, the borrower can continue their home search and identify a property they wish to purchase. The final underwriting review occurs once they select a property and enter into a purchase agreement. The underwriting team will verify the property\u2019s value through an appraisal and ensure that the borrower\u2019s financial situation still meets lending guidelines. Once a \u201cclear to close\u201d is issued, the loan is ready to close, and the borrower can proceed with the purchase.<\/p>\n As you can see, a fully underwritten TBD mortgage approval is a loan commitment that provides a head start on the mortgage approval process and helps streamline the closing process once a property is chosen. Initially, a fully underwritten TBD mortgage approval may take longer than a traditional pre-approval<\/a> or pre-qualification issued by a loan officer, but you are receiving a much more powerful document.<\/p>\n Why bother with TBD approval? It’s perfect for home shoppers who want a head start on the mortgage process or who want to compete with cash buyers by showing sellers they’re serious contenders with an underwritten loan approval.<\/p>\n The main difference is the level of verification and lender commitment. Pre-qualification is a simple review of income and asset information, pre-approval is a deep dive into your finances and review of your financial documents, and TBD approval is an underwritten loan commitment issued without a property address.<\/p>\n A TBD underwritten mortgage approval through our Cash Ready Buyer Plus program puts North Carolina borrowers in a solid position to compete against other financed borrowers or cash buyers. The approval is valid for 90 days and can be used to make offers on multiple properties.
