A little mortgage housekeeping tip that could save you some unnecessary stress later.
If you’re moving money around for your down payment or closing an account those funds came from, keep the paper trail. Download statements, take screenshots, save account numbers and hang onto anything that shows where the money came from and where it went.
It might feel excessive at the time, but if a lender comes back asking for additional verification, you’ll be very glad you have it.
Mortgage applications involve a lot of documentation, and sometimes it’s the little things you save along the way that make the process much smoother.
My general rule? If you think we might need it later, save it. 😊
