the process
There are many different types of mortgage loans, however the basic process is the same:

- Application Process-info from your application will be validated, appraisal ordered, etc.
- Underwriting-ultimately authorizes approval of the loan and clears for closing.
- Closing- all parties will be scheduled to close. Closing will take approximately 1 hour.

- Savings - Balance of savings (typically will include your down payment)
