He set me up with a portal and sent general properties to me everyday.

What is great is they also setup the portal for employees every year to update / renew etc.

Mine are conventional but I sent All bank statementsBrokerage and retirement account statementsLast 3 paystubs and I sent a new one every 2 weeksLease and proof of paymentCopy of my drivers licenseTons of random forms they kept having me signI also have a good relationship with my loan officer so she just texts me to look at my portal anytime they need something so there aren’t delays.
