PLEASE NOTE: NEIGHBORHOOD FINANCE CORPORATION DOES NOT MAKE ANY GUARANTEE THAT THE POTENTIAL BORROWER WILL QUALIFY FOR A MORTGAGE BASED ON ANY BALANCES OR CALCULATIONS INPUT TO ANY OF THE CALCULATORS. TO PREQUALIFY FOR A MORTGAGE, THE POTENTIAL BORROWER MUST COMPLETE THE PREQUALIFICATION FORM AND BRING IT AND THE APPROPRIATE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS TO NFC. A LOAN ORIGINATOR WILL REVIEW THE POTENTIAL BORROWER’S MATERIALS AND REQUEST A CREDIT REPORT. USING ALL OF THESE DOCUMENTS, AND POSSIBLY OTHERS, THE LOAN ORIGINATOR WILL DETERMINE THE POTENTIAL BORROWER’S LOAN ELIGIBILITY.
