kick off the loan processing. Lenders have to consider a borrower's income, credit, debt, source of funds,
and net worth. They do this by creating a file for each interested borrower containing pertinent
information about them and the property. They
also verify that the information provided by the borrower is actually true
- A MAJOR component of loan processing is ordering and checking the borrower's credit reports. Not all

disburses the funds of the mortgage loan. The physical meeting at which the paperwork is signed for the
property transfer is also called the closing.
