After completing a loan application online it is important that you collect your personal documentation that you can see below on the loan checklist. As a Nationwide lender we provide mortgage assistance to make the home loan process easier. Conventional, jumbo and FHA requirements have changed so talk with your loan officer about pre-qualification criteria. FHA loan limits vary significant across the country. FHA has various loan amount restrictions by county, so check with HUD for 2010 loan limits.
