Required Documents for a Purchase - Community First Mortgage

Required documents for all borrowers:

Copy of your Green card (front and back) if you are a Permanent Resident Alien.

Copy of your work visa if you are a Non-permanent Resident Alien. If your visa has expired please provide your extension paperwork (I-797).

Please be sure to include the statement for the account(s) that you are using for your earnest money deposit, remaining down payment, closing costs, and potentially reserve funds.

Homeowner’s insurance policy for the new property. If you are buying a condo/townhouse and the HOA’s master policy does not cover “walls-in” insurance or HO6 insurance AND betterments and improvements – you will need to get an HO6 homeowner’s insurance policy. If you are not already in contract to buy a home we do not need this for your preapproval.
