So you have decided to buy a home and you know that documents are needed.
But, what documents are needed for the mortgage.
Every mortgage is different.
From the onset you may think a mortgage is just a mortgage, but it is not quite that easy.
Your mortgage is unique to you. That is why a mortgage professional will tailor a mortgage just for you.
As a general rule, before you start looking for your home, it is a good idea to get these documents organized and in a safe place. Also, talk with a mortgage professional (me), to know the amount you will qualify for.
Your mortgage professional may ask for documents, before she/he can send your approval to the Lender.
You will not need all of the documents listed below, it just depends on your circumstance.
Also, addtional documentation may be asked by the Lender when your mortgage approval gets sent in for the approval.
At this point, your mortgage professional may ask for the addtional documentation. You can get a faster commitment finalized if all the documentation is in order.
Below are the most common documents asked for but not all are usually needed:
If you are a salaried or hourly worker you need:
Letter of employment--Salary-- Position, salary, start date
Hourly-- Position, Start date and hours worked in a week
Current pay stub
T4 slips from the last two years
T4A slips from the last two years if it applies to you

If you are self employed you need:
T4A slips from the last two years
Tax returns from the last two years pages 1-3
