What documents do I need for a mortgage pre-approval?

Documents needed for a mortgage pre-approval typically include recent pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, and proof of identity, along with authorization for the lender to check credit. Self-employed buyers usually need additional documentation covering a longer income history. A Lowcountry lender can give a specific buyer the exact list before they start gathering paperwork.
