What Mortgage Lenders Want…CIA Analysis

Mortgage lenders today want to conduct a CIA analysis. A CIA analysis is short for credit income assets. These are the three things that we as mortgage lenders really need to see before we can tell you whether or not we can do a refinance loan or a purchase loan for you. Because I work for a local mortgage company, I can get you an answer on your mortgage loan pretty darn fast usually within 30 minutes.

If you can provide me a complete breakdown of your credit, income, and assets I can give you a solid idea of whether or not you will be able to get a mortgage loan. After completing a CIA analysis and if it’s determined that you cannot qualify right now, we can figure out the challenges and obstacles you need overcome so you can qualify down the road. Just because we can’t do alone right now does not mean we won’t be able to do loan down the road under changed circumstances.

So go ahead and break down this CIA analysis that mortgage lenders want to see.

As a mortgage local mortgage lender you can come by in person or send me the following items.

Credit– We need to pull copy of your credit report determine your middle credit score. The credit report you might have already is fine, but we will need to pull a new credit report because it will have to be in my mortgage company’s name. We will look at whatever debts show up on your credit report and go over them with you to determine whether not they are accurate. Additionally, if there’s debts on your credit report that you would like the opportunity to pay off we can omit those debts from your debt to income ratios and qualify you more efficiently.

Income-yes this means we will need pay stubs for the last 30 days as well as your 2009 and 2010 federal income tax returns and corporate tax returns if applicable. We will also need to see your 2009 and 2010 W2’s. If you are self-employed just the tax returns will work, but we will need to obtain a profit and loss statement showing your year-to-date income. If you have an extension filed on your 2010 income tax return we will need a copy of the “filed” extension along with the payment plan you are on if any, and if you owe any money. If you receive any pension income we will need to see all awards letters.

Assets
-this is very important because it determines your down payment or on a refinance, your reserves. Purchases and refinances are different because each has different reserve requirements. We will need to see two months of bank statements and/or the last two months of retirement account statements or the last two quarters if the count is quarterly. If you are receiving any gift funds we will need to get a statement from the giftor were showing they have the ability to gift those funds.

I know this sounds like a lot of work, but mortgage lenders want to see a full credit, income, and asset analysis.

The reason why we need to see this information is because of the fact we need to make sure you can actually qualify for the mortgage loan. This means sending in all of the information necessary for us to be able to do this analysis for you. I can do a credit income asset analysis for you free of charge to show you how much mortgage loan you can qualify for if you are purchasing or refinancing a home. So there you have it, exactly what mortgage lenders want to help you get a home loan.

When buying a home, it’s natural to want the lowest mortgage rate possible. But sometimes, chasing a slightly better rate from another lender—especially after your offer has already been accepted—can backfire in a big way. Let’s walk through a real-world scenario. You’ve got an offer accepted on a house. You’re working with a lender who has you approved, documents in underwriting, and a 21-day close of escrow in place. Everything is moving forward. Then you hear from another lender offering a rate that’s 0.25% lower, with slightly better closing costs. It’s tempting. But before you make a jump, here’s what you need to consider. Switching Lenders Comes with Time Costs When you pivot to a new lender mid-contract, they’ll need to: Re-underwrite your entire loan, Order a new appraisal, Disclose and sign new loan documents, Submit the file for final loan approval, Schedule and fund closing—all over again. This doesn’t happen overnight. Even in ideal circumstances, the new lender is likely going to need at least 25–30 days to close. If you’re in a fast-moving or competitive market, this is a real problem. Most sellers won’t grant a contract extension just because you’re switching lenders. So, what happens next? A Contract Extension Can Jeopardize Your Deal Asking for a contract extension means the seller must agree to delay closing. But that delay introduces risk—especially if the seller has backup offers or simply wants certainty. They may not grant the extension. Or worse, they could cancel the deal outright and take another buyer’s offer. Even if the seller agrees to extend, your earnest money and negotiation power could take a hit. And for what? A slightly lower rate that might save you $50 to $75 a month? Mortgage Rates Aren’t as Far Apart as You Think Here’s the truth: all mortgage lenders get their money from the same place—the bond market. The pricing differences between lenders usually range from 0.125% to 0.25% in rate on any given day. If one lender seems to be offering dramatically better pricing, the first thing you should ask is: How? Head over to FreddieMac.com and check the average 30-year fixed rate posted weekly. This is one of the most reliable benchmarks for where rates truly stand in the market. If a lender is quoting you a rate that’s well below that average, ask for the details: Are they charging extra points? Is this a teaser rate with a prepayment penalty? Is it based on a different loan product or risky structure? Often, what sounds “too good to be true”… is. Consider the Bigger Picture Think long-term. If you’re financing $600,000, a 0.25% lower rate may reduce your payment by roughly $75/month. But what if you lose the house and have to start over? That monthly savings doesn’t mean much if you’re outbid on your dream home or lose your deposit. Also, remember: you’re not going to keep this rate forever. Today’s homebuyers typically refinance when rates drop by about 0.75% or more. So if rates fall within the next year or two, you’ll likely be refinancing anyway. Instead of paying extra points now or risking the entire deal for a minor monthly savings, it may be better to accept a slightly higher rate—knowing you’ll refinance when the time is right. The Real Risk Isn’t the Rate—It’s the Delay When shopping for a home loan, don’t just ask, “What’s your rate?” Ask: Can you close on time? Is this rate sustainable or based on hidden costs? Will switching lenders delay or jeopardize my contract? A home purchase contract is a binding agreement between you and the seller to perform within a set timeframe. If you can’t meet those dates because you're chasing a slightly better rate elsewhere, you may want to reconsider if now is the right time to buy. Final Thoughts Yes, interest rates matter. But execution matters more. Before making a switch mid-transaction, talk to your lender. Have an honest conversation about pricing, timelines, and strategy. You might find that staying the course, securing the house, and planning to refinance later offers a better path to financial security. Want to Know Your Options?
