Mortgage Income Documents.

Mortgage Income Documents

If you are obtaining mortgage financing from a traditional or alternative bank lender you will be required to provide mortgage income documents. Although most private mortgages approvals are equity-based, some private lenders wish to verify and document their client’s income. In most cases, however, your private mortgage lender will accept what is known as ‘stated income’. This article is intended to address the mortgage income documents required for non-private mortgage financing. 

Your time is valuable and you can benefit from being aware of the documents you’ll need to prepare. In some cases, delays will arise as a result of missing or lost documents that must be found or replaced. Furthermore, if your income is seasonal, commission-based, or you are self-employed, it isn’t that straight-forward.
