Underwriting View: Case Scheduling Best Practices in DTI and Income
- Coordinate with your employer to secure timely pay stubs and written verification of employment (VOE).
- Collect 2–3 recent bank statements and asset evidence to support reserves and source of funds for the down payment.
- Run a preliminary DTI assessment with all monthly debts included to identify potential compensating factors early.
Most borrowers don’t realize this until their lender brings it up: small cash-flow irregularities can become sticking points if not explained with clear documentation. The timing of each document submission can affect whether a conditional approval turns into a clear-to-close. With the right preparation, you can maintain momentum and avoid last‑minute scrambles.
Documentation, Conditions, and Timeline Management
- Provide two years of tax returns if there is any self-employment or irregular income; otherwise ensure W‑2s and pay stubs cover at least the most recent 60 days.
- Gather 2–month bank statements for all accounts used for the down payment and closing costs, with any large deposits explained and documented.
- Prepare a source-of-funds letter for sizable transfers and, if applicable, gift letters from a family member with a clear provenance of the funds.
