What is title insurance?
Title insurance provides the lender and the buyer if you purchase owner’s coverage with coverage for losses resulting
from specific title defects listed in the policy. In cases where land and property have changed hands over time, there
is always the possibility an error has occurred. If an error has occurred, someone else may have an interest in the
property, improvements may encroach on property lines or other similar problems may exist. In these scenarios, if you do
not have title insurance you could lose your investment in your home. Lenders require "lenders coverage" to protect
their investment and it only protects the lender. Owner’s coverage is optional and provides separate coverage for the
borrower.

Mortgage Qualification Guidlines
1. You should have had no late payments with your previous credits for at least one year (12 months). But if you have had a great credit record for several years and you had some little occasions of late payment, your application might still be considered. Usually, lenders watch out for late payments that are 30 days behind or more.
2. Lenders will check your rental payment history. You should have regular, on time payments for your rental residence for at least, the last 2 years to prove that you pay on time.
3. If the government has established your student loan to be in default, it is possible that you are not found to be a qualified applicant for a mortgage loan. However, there are cases the disqualification may be waived provided that you have entered into your repayment negotiations to schedule for the student loan and you have made punctual payments again for the previous year.
