Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What documents do I need to prove future employment income for my mortgage?
A1: You need a fully executed employment offer or contract signed by both you and your employer. It must clearly state your start date and employment terms. The start date should be no earlier than 30 days before and no later than 90 days after your mortgage note date.
Q2: Can I use cryptocurrency to help with my mortgage down payment?
A2: Yes. New token-backed mortgage programs allow borrowers with a Coinbase account to pledge crypto assets like Bitcoin or USDC as collateral for a second loan that covers the down payment, alongside a regular mortgage.
Q3: How do accessory dwelling units (ADUs) impact my mortgage?
A3: ADUs can increase your property’s value and rental income potential, which may improve your loan eligibility. However, they must comply with local zoning laws and lender requirements.
Q4: What are the main steps in the mortgage closing process?
A4: The process includes application, underwriting, appraisal, final approval, and closing day where you sign documents and pay closing costs. Staying organized and responsive helps ensure timely closing.
Q5: How can I protect myself from predatory mortgage lending?
A5: Understand your loan terms fully, ask questions, avoid high-pressure tactics, and use trusted lenders. Regulatory protections and educational resources are available to help you avoid unfair practices. —
