Preparing to Apply for a Mortgage

Below you will find an itemized list of all of the information typically needed to process a mortgage. In order to start the application process a "loan application" (form 1003) is completed with information you provide verbally to a loan officer. The loan application information includes your current and previous address (if you haven't been in your home for at least two years), your current and previous employer (if you haven't been with the same employer for at least two years) and your credit and asset information.

This list attempts to cover all of the information that may be needed. The loan type and your particular credit situation will eventually determine exactly what documentation you will need to supply.

Borrowers with higher credit scores may be eligible for certain income verification waivers, e.g. you may only be required to provide one pay stub or may qualify for what is known as a "streamlined mortgage acceptance".
