Congratulations on deciding to purchase a home. The Lindley Team understands that this can be a difficult and stressful process, which is why we’ve provided a checklist below to help you stay organized in the Portland mortgage process.

Make sure you have all your general information and documents together, this includes:

• Your social security number
• Your life insurance policy (if applicable)
• Copy of divorce decree (if applicable)
• Governmental financial assistance (if applicable)
• Your credit card account information
• All your personal loan account information (if applicable)

• Auto loan account information (if applicable)
• Proof of income (pay stubs or tax returns)
• Two months’ worth of bank statements
• Retirement account information (if applicable)
• If you own other properties:
  • state your mortgage information
  • home equity
  • homeowner’s insurance policy information

Also make sure that you have your credit report reviewed:

• Ask us to pull your credit so we can review together
• If your credit report has incorrect information, we’ll help you correct it ahead of time
• We will evaluate whether actions need to be taken to improve your credit score and credit worthiness
• Assess if you are financially ready to purchase a house

In some instances, we’ll need to document additional assets/income, in which case you will also need to provide additional financial information:

• Show proof of money in the stock market (if applicable)
• Proof of down payment funds and closing costs
• Source and document funds that are gifted to you, and provide a letter of explanation

As your local Portland mortgage lender, we hope this checklist can ease the process of obtaining a mortgage. There is a lot to take in when shopping the market for Portland home loans, and we are here to make this process as simple and stress free as possible.
