First Steps to Apply for a Loan:
When assessing a borrower, the lender is likely to take into account credit score, income, expenses, and the size of the down payment. In order to run an assessment, your lender is likely to ask for the following:
- Social security number
- Recent pay stubs
- W-2s or I-9 from the past two years
- Proof of other sources of income
- Federal tax returns
- Recent bank statements

These days, many mortgage lenders let you apply online, sometimes through a fully automated online mortgage platform and other times with phone assistance from a loan agent.
