By Dream Team Lending – Empowering You with Knowledge

Getting a loan doesn’t have to be overwhelming. At Dream Team Lending, we make the process simple, transparent, and customer-friendly. Whether you're applying for a home loan, small business funding, or debt consolidation, our step-by-step loan process is designed to help you move forward confidently.

🔍 Step 1: Pre-Qualification

We start by assessing your financial situation to estimate how much you might qualify for.

  • What’s Needed: Basic income, employment, and credit info
  • Timeline: 1–2 business days
  • Example: "You may qualify for up to $240,000 at 6.5% APR."

📝 Step 2: Complete Loan Application

Once pre-qualified, you’ll fill out a full application.

  • Required Documents:
    • Government-issued ID
    • Pay stubs (last 2 months)
    • Tax returns (last 2 years)
    • Recent bank statements
  • Credit Check: A full credit pull will be done

📄 Step 3: Loan Estimate Issued

Within 3 business days, we’ll send you a Loan Estimate showing:

  • Loan amount
  • Interest rate
  • Monthly payments
  • Closing costs
     This document helps you compare options and budget wisely.

🧾 Step 4: Processing & Underwriting

Our team will verify all documents, order appraisals, and assess your risk profile.

  • Checks Include:
    • Income and employment verification
    • Appraisal for home loans
    • Credit and debt-to-income ratio
  • Timeline: 7–14 business days

✅ Step 5: Loan Approval

Once underwriting is complete, your loan is approved. Occasionally, we may request additional documents for conditional approval.

📑 Step 6: Closing Disclosure

Three days before final closing, we’ll send a Closing Disclosure outlining your final terms and fees. You’ll have time to review and ask questions.

🔐 Step 7: Loan Closing

You’ll sign the final paperwork, pay any closing costs, and receive funds or the keys to your home!

  • Closing Costs: Typically 2%–5% of the loan amount
  • Disbursal Timeline:
    • Mortgages: 3 business days
    • Personal/business loans: Same-day or next-day
