What to Check

  • Borrower, lender, note, mortgage, deed of trust, commitment, application, and product type.
  • Principal, term, rate, payment design, collateral, covenants, and repayment obligation.
  • Origination status, approval condition, closing condition, and document execution.
  • Effect on payment timing, enforceability, collateral rights, borrower cost, and refinancing options.
  • Whether the term belongs in mortgage lending, project finance, banking, credit, or securities analysis.

Common Mistakes

  • Treating pre-approval, commitment, note, and funded loan as the same event.
  • Ignoring whether a loan is conventional, government-backed, project-finance, or nontraditional.
  • Comparing products without matching collateral, rate, amortization, fees, and term.
  • Using marketing names instead of the controlling loan documents.
