Or if you are looking for a way to pass the time while being productive, now could be the perfect time to obtain a mortgage pre-approval or refinance your home.

What documents will I need?

- Documents to validate your income, such as your two most recent pay stubs. We may also use tax records to verify your earnings.
- Proof of your place of residence for the last two years.
