it means that legally they are the part owner of your house. they can't "make"you pay them, but you can't sell this house unless this lien is paid off first. They will be "earning" interest on their debt too, so sooner or later you will sell, or die, and someone will attempt to sell this house, and it will not be able to be transferred to the new owner until this debt is paid in full.

Once you've been preapproved havent they already run your credit if so why do they charge you a credit report fee at closing?

Some brokers do a "preapproval" without running your credit. They base their answer on how you deem your credit is. It is very irresponsible of a lender to do. In most cases the lender runs your credit early in the loan process. As a convenience to you, they do not charge you upfront. If they did, they would also have to collect upfront for the appraisal, title work, automated underwriting findings, processing, underwriting, etc. Rather than charge you as each of these costs are incurred, the lender will normally collect most of these fees at closing.
