What Documents Do I Need to Apply for a Mortgage?

By the way, don’t worry! I understand opening up your financial life like this can be stressful. I don’t make judgments. Also, please know that my job isn’t to simply gather the information. My goal is to put the paperwork together, connect the dots, and deliver a complete package to the mortgage underwriter in a format that’s clear to him or her. Because the clearer the picture is to the underwriter, the smoother the process will be for you.
