First-time buyer checklist: documents you may need
Accelerated Lending
Buying a home often starts with gathering basic financial documents. Depending on your situation, a lender may ask for:
- Recent pay stubs or proof of income - W-2s or tax returns for self-employed borrowers - Bank statements showing assets for down payment and reserves - Government-issued ID
This list is general educational information — not a guarantee of approval or a complete application checklist. A licensed loan officer can walk through what may apply to you.
