@Patrick - thanks

@ Tiffany -  thanks for the reply and good idea ! :)   here is a data  list that's similar to what Patrick provided that you can use to  compile the data needed for loan pre approval purposes :

  • 2 most recent bank account statements (ALL PAGES. Any large deposits that are not payroll related that appear need to be explained and paper trailed)
  • 2013 2014 W2s
  • 2 most recent paystubs
  • 2014and 2013 tax returns
  • Copies of driver licenses
  • Completed signed loan forms

I hope this helps and feel free to ask any other questions ...all the best

Tiffany – thanks for the post

As you and others mention, thetextbook guidelines are hard to meet in King County ( especially Seattle area ) ….as the marketremainsstrong for sellers , I would recommendhaving all your “ ducks in a row “with regards tofunds in place / lender pre-approval( not pre-qualification “ ) etc….reason for this is thatif a property thatis attractive to offer on becomesavailable – there isvery likely to be otherslike you that have been waiting / watchingfor theopportunity to buy

Thanks and I hope this helps and if you already are prepared – great!...all the best
