Once an offer is accepted on your behalf for a home and your lender receives the contract they will go to work on your mortgage application. Once your lender has an underwriting approval on your file they will send the file to HAP. HAP will analyze every crevice of the file from Bank Statements/Assets, Paystubs/ Household size.. etc. After they analyze the file they will determine how much the borrower can receive. They do not always receive assistance funds or the full $7,250. This adds about 2-4 weeks additional time to allow time for HAP to review the file and come to a decision. This particular program requires the borrower to live in this property for 10 years or more as a primary residence and does not allow for you to do a cash-out refinance for 10 years either. . If the borrower receives assistance funds and sells property/defaults/converts property to investment property prior to the 10 year mark they will be responsible for paying back whatever assistance funds they received to the program. This program is on a case by case basis. Essentially once I review borrowers documents I will have a good understanding if they can even qualify for the program based on previous experience with these files.

3. Be sure your realtor has these two items. They may seem like a couple flimsy pieces of paper but these are your 'keys" to homeownership when an offer is being submitted.
4. Find the property of your dreams with your realtor. With how quickly some markets are moving look for 5-7 properties and have your realtor schedule showings. 5. Make your offer or offer's on property(s) -- Be sure your pre-approval letter and DU Approve/Eligible sheet were submitted with your offer. Why is this important? These two items show you've taken the initial steps of seeking financing. These items WILL set you apart from offers that do not have a Pre-Approval Letter or DU Approval along with them. 6.
