Was your mortgage application turned down?

If at first you don't succeed with your mortgage application, apply, apply again. Just because your loan was turned down by one bank doesn't mean it will be turned down by all of them.

Today’s topic is about not giving up.

This is probably a good life rule in general, but it should definitely be applied to your mortgage transaction. The reason behind this is called "investor overlays." When your loan is being underwritten, it’s being compared to a set of standards that are specific to your loan type.

Those standards can and will vary from lender to lender.

Greg, in this new scrutinized mortgage environment this is excellent advise for buyers to keep pushing ahead and not give up just because they've been turned down by one lender.

Adrian, thanks for the comment.

You're right not all lenders are the same and many home buyers have left the market because one told them no.

Greg-Good points so I rebloged. Some of my clients have had success using this approach.

Wayne, thanks for the comment. We have turned around many denials because the consumer was willing to get a second opinion.
