Why? Here is Your Answer.


Why do mortgage companies ask for so many items? Here is an explanation of why they need specific items!

-Bank statements – It is usually required to provide two months of bank statements

                  1. Review average balances – if your account shows $100 average but your monthly payment is increasing $200, this is a red flag

                  2. Look for any large deposits – deposits that are not direct deposit payroll must be verified over a certain amount to make sure you have not borrowed money to help qualify

                  3. URL/Teller signature and stamp – this is often required to help validate the statements

                  4. Full account numbers – to match accounts up to your name

-Paystubs with Year-To-Date Income – to verify how much you have earned all year – your pay could be $15.00/hour, but by having the year to date income we can see that you have not missed a significant amount of work throughout the year.

-Divorce/Separation/Child Support paperwork – we need to insure what alimony or child support is being received or distributed.  This is a vital part of the approval process because it can affect the outcome of the approval. 

-Awards letter for retirement/disability/social security – even though we will see it deposited monthly into the bank account, we still need the awards letter to verify the true award amount being given.
