Unfortunately, the subprime mortgage crisis has caused dramatic changes in the lending climate. Many lending institutions have suffered tremendous losses and as a result have tightened their lending standards drastically. Whereas it used to be very, very easy to meet the requirements in order to get approved, it is now much more difficult with most lenders. When searching for a mortgage lender in Monterey, it is important to find one that not only offers the lowest rates, but also has not tightened lending standards to the point that only a tiny percentage of applicants will qualify.
