This chapter delves into the critical processes of underwriting and financing residential properties. Underwriting evaluates a borrower's loan request, focusing on profitability and risk through methods like the payment-to-income and loan-to-value ratios. Affordability ratios, including PITI/gross income and total obligations to income, provide insights into borrower capability. The underwriting process considers income sources, assets, credit history, and debt obligations. Additionally, it covers closing costs, which are essential one-time expenses when buying a property or securing a loan.
