Check your Credit Score

What your credit report shows can play a role in properties you are able to buy as this is a factor banks or other institutions look at to determine the loan they are willing to offer you. Check your credit through a professional lending institution.

Gather your Documents

Here is a list of some documents you may need to secure the financing for the property as applicable for your situation

  • Tax returns for two years

  • Recent pay stubs

  • Bank account information
