No matter where you are in the loan process it's never too early to consult a First National Mortgage Sources loan officer. This step will expedite the loan process and give you a picture of where you stand and what you need to provide in order to qualify for your mortgage. Your loan officer will carefully analyze your current situation and determine the programs that you currently qualify for. If there are any challenges, your loan officer will discuss these with you at this time. Below is a list of items you may be asked for following your application. However, please make application before collecting these items. Most of our borrowers do not have to provide this much documentation.

3 Work with our loan officers to find the best mortgage for you.
Your loan officer will help you find the mortgage that fits you best. There are a lot of factors to be considered. How long do you plan to keep the loan? Would a fixed or adjustable rate mortgage be best for you? Should you buy your rate down? What other costs are involved? When should you lock in your rate? Based on your needs and situation, your loan officer will show you which mortgage products work best for you. During the whole process, we are there for you to answer your questions with our years of experience.
