BGOQ asked:
As I’ve been doing homework on the loan process for a first-time mortage, it struck me as peculiar that it is recommended (required??) to bring six months of bank statements to your loan visit. This seems to me to be a little invasive on privacy, yet I’m not sure what the purpose is. What do they look for specifically? Is it to verify income, or do they actually look at every single item? What if I have multiple accounts/banks, should I bring six months worth of statements from each bank? Is this the same with bank loans as it is with mortageg brokers? Always, thanks for your answers!
