Important Loan Paperwork

Paperwork Needed for A Loan

Most lending institutions require confidential information that you may not have at hand when making a mortgage loan application. To hasten the process of loan approval, you will want to bring the following with you.

 

*A copy of the Sales Contract on the home that you're buying.

*A check payable to the mortgage company for your credit report and/or appraisal fee. When the loan is approved, this comes off your closing cost. If for some reason the loan is not approved or the house does not appraise, this money is not refunded to you.

*Social Security number for husband and wife.

*Checking account numbers; addresses of banks. (Include children's checking/savings accounts if your name is on them.)

*Savings account numbers; addresses of same; gift letter for any money received from relatives to purchase home and placed in checking/savings account.

*Mutual Fund account numbers and addresses.

*Serial numbers and face values of any U.S. Savings Bonds and other Stocks.

*Copy of current thrift plan, provident fund, or retirement benefits which your company has. If available, include addresses and account numbers. Include IRA and/or Keogh data, where applicable.

*Credit card references and account numbers.

*Name and address of employer(s) for the last five years. Latest leave and earnings statement or pay vouchers.

*Name and account number of Credit Union.

*If you presently own or have owned a home in the last three years, the name and address of the mortgage company or lending institution, the mortgage loan number and approximate balance.

*If you are obtaining your equity from the sale of your previous residence, a copy of your closing statement is required.

*If you are a landlord, bring a copy of your tenant's lease with you to substantiate income derived. (If no lease is available, bring copies of checks, receipts, etc.)
