Applying for a mortgage typically requires the following:
1. **Proof of Income**: Recent pay stubs, tax returns, and W-2 forms to verify your employment and income.
2. **Credit Report**: A good credit score is essential. Lenders will review your credit history to assess your financial reliability.
3. **Proof of Assets**: Bank statements and investment account statements to verify that you have enough savings for a down payment, closing costs, and reserves.
4. **Employment Verification**: Documentation or a letter from your employer verifying your employment status and income.
5. **Identification**: A government-issued ID, such as a driver's license or passport.
6. **Debt Information**: Details of any existing debts, including student loans, car loans, credit cards, and other mortgages.
7. **Property Information**: Information about the property you wish to purchase, including the address, sales contract, and, in some cases, a property appraisal.
8. **Down Payment**: Proof that you have enough funds available for the down payment.
9. **Additional Documentation**: Depending on your situation, lenders may require additional documents, such as divorce decrees, child support documentation, or bankruptcy discharge papers.
Having these documents ready can help streamline the mortgage application process.
