Flight... I am in the US and this is pretty much how they played the mortgage game out here.... Tax returns last 3 years, pay stubs last 3 months, bank statements last 3 months. They also wanted to make sure we've had money for the down payment stewing in the bank for 6 months. The rest of the mountain of paperwork was simply details and they qualified us for a mortgage payment not to exceed 25% of our income. Life insurance? Not a word-more like mortgage insurance. Your income, your credit score and your down payment is what banks are interested in out here. Regards, Joe Trucker
