DOCUMENTATION FAQ
HOW DO I PROVIDE THESE DOCUMENTS?
There are two options for getting these documents to your Flower Mound mortgage lender: 1) via fax to the Premier office or 2) electronic delivery. If you opt for electronic delivery, your loan officer will provide you with a secure link, allowing you to upload your documents safely and securely from your preferred device.
WILL THERE BE MORE?
Though this is a detailed list, it might not cover all the documents you’ll be required to provide for your loan. The mortgage process varies from buyer to buyer, so there may be additional paperwork needed to process your mortgage application. Your Premier Flower Mound loan officer will reach out if any new items are necessary. If this occurs, try to be as prompt in your reply as possible. Any delay in providing these documents could impact your closing date.
WHAT IF I’M APPLYING FOR A VA LOAN?
If you’re a veteran or military member and are applying for a VA loan, you’ll need to provide two extra documents: A copy of your DD Form 214 and your Certificate of Eligibility. You can obtain your COE through your local VA office or online at VA.gov.
