As your Colorado mortgage broker, I help several families each day obtain the mortgage they need to do the things they’ve always wanted to do.

Are you thinking about applying for a loan? If so, you’re going to prepare several documents. Depending on your situation, we may need additional documents in order to get your loan approved.
Personal Documents
Documents that provide your name, birthdate, and social security number will need to be provided. Additionally, your current home address will be required as well as any addresses you may have lived at in the past 24 months. This information tells us that you are in fact who you say you are!
Proof of Income
When applying for a loan, one of the things you can expect to be asked to provide is proof of income. Typically, brokers and lenders will ask for copies of your most recent pay stubs, the name and contact information for your current employer, W-2 forms, tax returns, rental income (if applicable) and proof of any other additional income, such as child support.
This information allows us to tell the lenders how much money you are making and helps them decide whether or not you will be in a position for pay off the loan.
Debts & Assets
It’s also important to bring all financial statements you have received over the past 60 days. This can be from banks, credit unions, and any other asset accounts. You’ll also need to provide us with a list of all debts that you currently have, such as credit cards and other outstanding loans. If you pay alimony or child support, this is where you’ll have to let us know. It’s important to ensure you give the proper names and contact information for the companies/people which whom you are in debt with.
