A Complete Mortgage Application Checklist
When applying for a mortgage, you will need to keep ready the necessary paperwork related to your financial profile. Lenders will require specific types of documents, and sometimes they may ask for additional documentation. If you’re not prepared with all the vital documents, this could cause delays or, worse, rejection of your application.
