Loan Basics
For a brief understanding of what loan processing means you should know that each loan has three main steps to its life span: pre-qualifying, origination and servicing. These are the three main stages a loan goes through from its request to its full recovery.
Pre-qualifying a loan is the full responsibility of a loan officer who is supposed to gather as much information about a potential client before being able to help him finance a project or another. In his task of helping a potential client either buy a house or a car he must keep risks at a minimum and maximize the returns on the investment. The information he is required to gather from the potential client refers to his income and how steady it is, his monthly expenses, his assets and employment history, the current debts, the value of the loan and any recommendations which will add to the clients willingness and ability to cover the loan payments while not passing the set dead-line. Each financing institution and loan officer has a preset of values from which to determine eligibility and one such institution may grant you the same loan another company would not. Usually all financing companies make use of similar loan software however they can guide themselves on different credit scoring models, from payment-to-income to debt-to-income.
