You want my sister's bank account statement when I'm buying the home? Yes, that might happen. If you are buying a home and seeking conventional financing, "large deposits" must be verified. The rules have recently eased. When bank statements (typically covering the most recent two months) are used, the lender must evaluate large deposits, which are defined as a single deposit that exceeds 50% of the total monthly qualifying income for the loan.
For example, if you make $4000 a month and your sister paid you back a personal loan of $2,100 which was listed as a transaction on one of the bank statements you provided, you would have to provide a written letter of explanation and your sister's bank account statement showing the withdrawal. The $2,100 is 52.5% of $4000; therefore, the rule of verifying "large deposits" would apply.
If you are buying a home, seek a licensed residential mortgage loan originator who you trust will review your complete financial situation. You want a loan representative that will set your expectations of what will be needed to satisfy loan conditions, providing a smooth loan process.
