Term Definition
Q-form A Q-form is series of questions that you complete in order to request a loan. What does the Q stand for? You choose - quality, quick, qualification, questionnaire. Our unique Q-forms have been designed by LendingTree specifically for the Internet to make your experience as easy as possible.
Qualification Qualification is the initial process to see if you have enough cash and sufficient income to meet the requirements of the lender for a loan you want. Qualification is not an approval because it does not include your credit history. Qualified borrowers can be turned down if they have poor credit history.
Qualification Ratios Qualification ratios are set by the lender that state your housing expense to income, and housing expense plus other debts to income, cannot exceed a specified number. Many lenders use a 28% housing expense to income and a 36% housing expense plus debts to income. Other ratios may be how much you put down on a home.
Quitclaim Deed A deed which transfers whatever interest the maker of the deed may have in the particular parcel of land. A quitclaim deed is often given to clear the title when the grantor's interest in a property is questionable. By accepting such a deed the buyer assumes all the risks. Such a deed makes no warranties as to the title, but simply transfers to the buyer whatever interest the grantor has.
