Prequalification
Prequalifying is the first step to homeownership! To make this process easier, it is a good idea to compile the following required financial information:
- Monthly payments and monthly income
- Most recent pay stubs covering the last 30 days
- Complete tax returns for the past two years
- Bank statements of all checking, savings and asset accounts from the last two months
A fee of $20 will also be required for the lender to access your credit report.
To obtain information on an existing loan from MMCDC, use the View Loan Balance tool at the bottom of this page. Information including a loan payoff amount also may be obtained by sending a request by email to Amber Langerud or Nicole Kirchner, or by mail to Mortgage Loan Servicer, MMCDC, 119 Graystone Plaza Suite 100, Detroit Lakes, MN 56501. This address also should be used for sending payments by mail.
