Working With Your Best Mortgage Lenders

In general most lenders no longer require social security numbers at this stage of the process.

They are merely going to assess your prospects of mortgage loan approval on unverified personal information given by you.

In this initial stage, be wary of providing a social security number because it can be used for a credit search. Multiple credit inquiries have the potential to lower the all-important credit scores, decreasing your ability to get the best home mortgage rates.
