Need to verify if loan officer is legit

Need to verify if loan officer is legit

Member since 2021 · 1 post · 0 votes

We are applying for a 30 year loan to purchase STR in Florida. I found this loan officer on line because I wanted 30 years fixed and nobody local Will do that. The loan officer is asking for my personal property tax bill and insurance bill. I sent him the dec sheet for my home insurance and he wants the part that tells him the insurance price. I don't understand why he needs these things. I'm concerned if he is legitimate. I feel he is asking for too much info. what should I send to him and how do I see if he is for real?

Try using this link to check the loan originators NMLS status

As for sharing personal information... well that's just part of the deal but always best to know who you are working with.

    I can't tell you if this loan officer is legit.... but if she/he is....asking for the cover sheet of your home insurance policy is completely normal and legitimate. And they will need a LOT more information from you than that. Hey, you're asking to use THEIR money for 30 years..... your personal privacy will have to take a back seat for the moment. Get ready to provide  W-2s, two years of tax returns, bank statements for all your accounts for the past two months, pay-stubs, and more.

    @Patricia Signor, they may needs LOTS of info. Personal housing expenses factor into your ability to pay. How much you can afford based on your income and expenses.
