Getting pre-approved will not take long if we have all of the documents needed to ensure a smooth process in obtaining financing.

Providing the following documentation:

  • Last 2 years Tax Returns and W2s (we need all of the schedules included in your tax return).  If the return you submit has not been filed or was NOT filed on time please let us know as this can delay the financing process.
