Excited to apply those lessons to the next one!

can someone please provide examples of a cover page and summary page when applying for a loan, please and thank you ! 

Get the house in forbearance sold before Halloween, bribe ex wife to cooperate, go to arbitration rather than wasting money on divorce attorneys, have her apply for a permanent modification on her name and income alone.
