To minimize RISK to the lender, they will review your credit profile
Since they can’t read the future, they can’t really know if you will make your mortgage payments on time or not.

However, research has shown that the best way to predict your FUTURE “on-time payment performance” is to review your PAST payment performance. That’s why your credit report it so important. It allows them to get a very complete picture of your outstanding debt obligations, your on-time payment track record, your credit mix and details about any other monies owed. Collections, judgements, etc.

Understanding your credit profile does not eliminate their risk. You might still default in the future even though you’ve been perfect in the past.

However, it does minimize their RISK.

Capacity is the funds available in your personal savings…
… or funds from other approved sources. Capacity is your financial ability to perform on your commitment. The lender wants to make sure that you have enough money for your required down payment and/or closing costs.

When you borrow money, you offer a Deed of Trust to the lender that gives them the right to take ownership of the property if you default on their loan. The vehicle that they will use to do this is called foreclosure.

Since the loan is being secured by the property as collateral, the lender wants to be extremely confident about the value of the property. The document that helps them to determine value is called an appraisal, and it it required for nearly every home loan.
