What to Check

Check the origination file, underwriting approval, servicing record, payment history, escrow or reserve record, refinancing terms, lease agreement, authorization record, transfer notice, and applicable legal constraints.

Common Mistakes

  • Treating origination approval as the same as ongoing servicing performance.
  • Ignoring servicing transfers, payment application, fees, and legal notices.
  • Comparing refinancing or bridge options without checking term, cost, maturity, and repayment source.
  • Confusing lease financing with ordinary loan repayment.

Servicing, refinancing, and lease-financing terms depend on contracts and law; this page is educational, not legal or credit advice.
