Want to apply for a mortgage
Here are some helpful “Do’s and Don’ts” when applying for a mortgage…
■ Keep originals or be able to access on your employer/
bank sites all pay-stubs, bank statements and other
important financial documents.
■ Provide your Earnest Money Deposit from your own personal
bank account or acceptable gift funds. Please talk to your
Loan Consultant for additional clarification. This will present
a very difficult problem if not managed properly in the
beginning.
■ Provide all documentation for the sale of your current home,
including sales contract, closing statement, employer
relocation/buy-out program if applicable.
■ Notify your Loan Consultant if you plan to receive gift funds
for closing. Gift funds are acceptable only if certain criteria
are met. Advances from credit cards for down payment/
closing costs are never acceptable.
■ Notify your Loan Consultant of any employment changes
such as recent raise, promotion, transfer, change of pay
status, for example, salary to commission.
■ Be aware that a new credit report could be pulled just
prior to closing.

this change might have on your loan.

new car, furniture, appliances, etc. as this may impact your
