Depending on your unique situation, there are several documents you’ll need when you apply for a home loan. The exact forms you need for a home loan depend on your situation. For example, someone who is self-employed will likely have to provide different forms than someone who is employed by a company.

Although the exact forms might vary, a lender can get a good sense of your approval odds by reviewing the following and running a credit check.

• 2 years of tax returns and W2’s
• Most recent bank statements, all accounts
• Most recent pay stub (minimum 30 days)
• If self-employed, 1099s and copy of business license
• Rental history or mortgage statement
• Divorce Decree or separation agreement
• Explanation of any inquires on credit report
• Drivers License
