Buyer obtaining loan approval

An underwriter's approval of your loan package requires 1) an accepted offer, 2) an appraisal of the property, and 3) a completed loan application and credit report and whatever other information the lender requires--such as tax returns, pay stubs, bank statements, gift letters. (An "easy-doc" or "quick-qual" loan does not require the last four items, but does require a large down payment and usually has a slightly higher interest rate). Removing the loan contingency usually takes two to three weeks from acceptance of your Purchase Offer.
