     What paperwork and documentation will my Lender need, so that I can get a mortgage loan to buy my new house in Tallahassee, Florida?

     Lenders want documents!  Lots of documents!  You, the borrower can make the loan process smoother, faster, and easier by gathering up the required paperwork BEFORE you call your Lender about a loan. 

     Even if you are just getting a "pre-approval", or trying to determine how much mortgage you can afford, or you want to know what your monthly payment will be... collect these documents first!

       If you are making formal Loan Application to buy a new house in Tallahassee, you MUST have these documents.

 

     The following list is compiled by Khash Saghafi, a mortgage loan officer in Cleveland, Ohio who is licensed in 11 states.  Khash is also an FHA and Conventional Loan Underwriter.  The recommended documents in this list are applicable to home buyers in Tallahassee, Florida.

 

     When you buy a house in Tallahassee, call Licensed Florida Real Estate Broker Fred Griffin at 850-567-1901.  Fred has 30 years of residential real estate experience in Florida.  He will represent you and help you with the purchase of your new Tallahassee home!

So you are a real estate agent and you would like to help move the transaction along and you are wondering how you can best help the lender?

Here is the easiest, best and fastest way to help -- tell your borrower to get all of their paperwork which they are being asked for to the loan officer immediately.

What paperwork is it great to tell the borrower to have together in the first meeting?

* 2016 & 2017 tax returns (all pages)

* 2016 & 2017 w2's

* 2 most recent paystubs dated within the last 30 days

* Last 2 months of bank statements (all pages)

* Bankruptcy papers (all pages)

* Divorce decrees & separation agreements (all pages)

* Most recent 401k Statements (all pages)

* Social Security & Pension Awards Letters

* 2016 & 2017 1099's

* Any paperwork on any income tax repayment plans they are on (you would be surprised about this little gem)

* Recent monthly mortgage statements on any mortgages which are out there

* Copies of their drivers licenses

 

If all of that is given to the loan officer for the Pre-Approval, you will have some easy sailing to do.  If they do not provide all of that, get ready for some rough waters.

 

As always, I can be reached at 1-216-780-1103 with any questions, scenarios or help pre-approving your clients.  I am licensed in Ohio, Michigan, Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Georgia, California, Colorado, Oklahoma and Arizona.  Even if you are not in any of those states, I can always lend advice and answer any questions.  I am not only a loan officer, I am also an FHA and conventional underwriter, so my answers on scenarios are pretty much final.

Great choice for a reblog, Fred. I think almost all buyers, maybe all, are surprised at the amount of documentation that is required these days. And depending on the circumstances even other items may be needed. I missed this post, so thanks!

Have a good weekend!

Sometimes it almost seems buyers need to be swabbed for DNA in order to get a mortgage!

This is the best information for buyers out there - people don't realize all of the documentation that goes into getting a home loan.  This is a great re-blog!
