Applying for a Mortgage

This is a list of a few of the documents you will need when you first visit your lender. Take a deep breath. Your lender will probably have another list of more documents-- but these are a good start.

• Tax returns or W-2 forms to verify income
• Balances and account numbers of checking, savings and investment accounts
• Amount and details of all debts
• Down payment sources
• Employment status of each person to be named in the mortgage
• Record of past residences
• Amount of current mortgage or rent
• Other obligations, such as child support
