How to interview a lender...

Hello BP fam!

My wife and I own separate properties on our own and are looking to purchase our first property together.

We are in the process of searching for a lender to get pre-approved for a loan and was wondering what questions should we ask lenders to find one that best fits us.

I just listened to a podcast that suggest we should flip the script and rather than just be so quick to hand over bank statements, tax returns, pay stubs, etc., we should interview lenders and try to make them want to give us the loan.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
