You will need to provide specific documentation when you apply for an FHA home loan or any type of mortgage loan because a lender will have to review your financial history to decide if you qualify.
A lender will tell you what documentation and data to provide, but you should know what to expect. That way, when it comes time to look for an FHA-approved lender, you will have everything you need to start applying immediately, which will make the process faster and more efficient.
Here's some key information that you should have on-hand if you want to apply for an FHA home loan:
- Name
- Address
- Employment History
- Credit report
- Paycheck Stubs
- Social Security Card
- Last Two Tax Returns and W2s
- Bank Statements
- Investment Information
You may also have to tell your lender the types of homes and the price range you are considering. We recommend you get pre-approved for a mortgage loan as soon as possible. If you have already found a home, but have not yet gotten pre-approved, you will probably have to share the price of the home and the projected property taxes as well in order to qualify for an FHA home loan.
