paperwork

It's important for the real estate agent and mortgage loan officer to have processes and procedures in place to discourage fraud. As such, a buyer's mortgage paperwork shouldn't pass through the hands of the REALTOR if it can be helped.

If you're applying for a mortgage loan, chances are good that you'll be asked to produce bank statements. Keep reading to lean exactly what you'll need to provide and what your underwriter is looking for.

One of the first documents your lender will want to see are pay stubs reflecting the most recent 30 days of income.

While it may sound nice to imagine that nothing can go wrong with your real estate transaction, we have to be prepared for the possibility that things don't come together perfectly.

During the mortgage process, you will be asked to document large deposits into your bank account.
