In basketball and in buying real estate, no one likes being rejected!
I remember an old NBA video game the kids used to play. When one player was able to block the shot of another player, the announcer on the video game’s audio, would intone in a dramatically low and intense voice: Rejected!
It was a cool feature in the video game. It’s not so nice when you hear it at the end of a long application process for a mortgage with a bank or conventional lender. Further, it happens far more frequently than most borrowers realize.
I recently read one summary that said half of all applications to refinance a mortgage were rejected and that about 30 percent of all mortgage applications to purchase a home were rejected. That means a lot of people are suffering through hearing that dreaded word after having gone through a long, drawn out application process.
Reasons for loan application rejections
There are a variety of reasons potential borrowers are rejected by banks and conventional lenders. Having a credit score that doesn’t meet the lender’s minimum requirements is probably at the top of the list. Borrowers who find themselves in this situation are one of the biggest groups we help here at Evoque Lending.
Often these folks find themselves scratching their heads and asking “What should I do after the bank rejects me for a low credit score?” One instinct is just to give up on the purchase or refinancing. First-time borrowers are new to the way real estate works so they may not know that hard money lenders such as Evoque Lending can often save the deal.
When buyers need help with getting a loan for California real estate – especially Orange County real estate, Los Angeles real estate and San Francisco area real estate – Evoque Lending usually has the answer. At Evoque Lending, we don’t base our decisions on an arbitrary credit rating. We look your ability to make payments and the value of the property that you want to buy or refinance.
