FINANCING REAL ESTATE
Need Financing for your home ?
|
Very Important !! |
If you will need financing for your house, then, it is very important that you get a letter of Pre-Approval from a Mortgage company. This will facilitate the showings and the acceptance of an offer. Just make a call to your mortgage company and ask for that pre-approval letter.
Ask to the mortgage company to inform you the conditions of the loan ; interest rate, points, fees, APR, etc. and to inform you about the list of documents they will ask you, if you decide to make the Loan application with them. This will help you to evaluate if you can meet the requirements of such company.
Please review this list of MAIN documentation that most lenders will ask when processing a conventional loan:
W-2 forms for previous 2 years or Federal tax returns ( 1040s) for the past 2 years
