Are very confident it will be covered 3. the amount paid out will be worth it. 

As a result they’re forever attending seminars, workshops, classes provided by various real estate organizations; they’ve read every book ever written about real estate twice; they believe that they could be worth $1 billion now if only they had chosen real estate as their college major instead of medieval literature; but soon as they study for their real estate license in all 50 states they’ll be ready to begin.The Guru Junkie – I met this person while I was the designated provider of financing for a guru – back about 30 years ago.

In most cases, this is enough information to figure out if you have a deal that is going to benefit the client and make sense for them (this is assuming you can get an estimated value of the home you'll be refinancing through other means, otherwise, you might also ask them for their estimate as to what their home is worth).If you're past this point of figuring out whether it's a deal that makes sense for them and you haven't run automated underwriting to determine what documentation is being asked for, here's a pretty standard list:- 2023/2022 W2s (any/all jobs worked during these years, regardless of how long they were on the job)- Most recent mortgage statement for the loan(s) you'll be paying off- Copy of their homeowner's insurance binder or contact information for their homeowner's insurance agent so that you can request this on their behalf- Most recent pay stubs covering 30 days (typically this is the last two pay stubs)- If the property is in a homeowner's association, you'll want a recent HOA statement showing how much the borrower pays for their HOA dues- Copy of the borrower's driver's license or ID card - front and back- If your deal requires an appraisal, you may want to get payment information from the client now.
