How important are total assets in pre-approval process?

In some cases they aren't even required. It really depends on what type of loan your using (FHA, VA, Conventional, Non-Conforming, Etc) and what the purpose is (purchase, rate & term refinance or cash out). Are you talking in terms of a purchase or refinance? Feel free to contact me directly with any questions you may have. (619)822-2407

Great day to you! It depends on the type of product that you are wanting. Purchase - FHA = 3.5% down payment, VA = 0 down payment, Conventional = 3% down payment Plus it depends if you are paying closing costs or not? Lots of options. I am happy to assist you with any questions you may have. I am a LOCAL Mortgage Professional here in Colorado. Kay 720-670-0124 kay@kcmortgagecolorado.com

Typically, they are used as strong compensating factors.. If you have certain credit items that are marginal or makes an underwriter exercise caution, then having strong compensating factors like large assets can give them some comfort in granting an approval. Also, if your doing a loan on an investment property then assets/reserves are required.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona.

Liquid assets (that can be accessed if you wish) are always a factor that can and does strengthen your application.
