How Does the Uniform Residential Loan Application Work?

The information required on the 1003 mortgage application form assist mortgage lenders in determining whether mortgage borrowers (applicants) are eligible or not. Basically, mortgage borrowers are required to complete the 1003 form twice, one at the initial application and the other at the closing of the application. The reason mortgage lenders issue the 1003 form twice is to remove any doubts or controversies that borrowers might have regarding the terms of the Uniform Residential Loan Application. It is vital that mortgage borrowers understand all the terms on the 1003 form while completing it. Borrowers can either fill the 1003 form in person or mortgage lenders help them fill it out after all the details must have been sent by the borrowers. The 1003 loan application form is also called a Fannie Mae Form 1003, it was developed by the Federal National Mortgage Association, or Fannie Mae. The Congress of the United States created Fannie and Freddie Mac (Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp) to maintain high volume of business interactions in the mortgage market. These two entities dictate the information that are needed in mortgage transactions. The 1003 is a standardized loan form that is rampantly used in the mortgage industry. Other lenders who wish to use alternative forms can use Form 65 which is an equivalent of Form 1003 that was designed by Freddie Mac. The eligibility of a mortgage borrower is decided once the 1003 form has been completed. The information supplied by applicants in this form helps lenders to the risk potentials of borrowers and whether the risk is worth taking. Also, the eligibility of borrowers is largely associated with how financial secured and reliable they are. The information required in the 1003 form include a borrower's asset such as stocks, bonds, investments and checking accounts that mortgage lenders can liquidate to make repayment for loans if the borrower defaults. Other information include, employment history, personal information, total monthly income for borrowers household, and regular monthly expenses.
