The purchase contract only becomes necessary once your offer is accepted and the file moves into full underwriting. Gathering income and asset documents before you start house hunting shortens the time between an accepted offer and closing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Document Prep Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Upload clear scans or phone photos rather than screenshots, which often cut off page edges or blur text.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Label each file clearly, for example &#8220;January_2026_paystub&#8221; instead of a generic filename.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confirm your pay stubs are dated within 30 days of your application date before uploading; stale pay stubs are one of the most common reasons for a follow-up request.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/tomo.com\/mortgage\/app\/preapproval\">Apply for a Mortgage Online<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What documents do I need for a mortgage application?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Four categories: income documents (W-2s, pay stubs, tax returns), asset documents (bank and investment statements), identity documents (photo ID and Social Security number), and property documents (purchase contract, HOA documents if applicable).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I submit mortgage documents electronically?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Online lenders accept documents through a secure upload portal, and many can pull income and asset data directly from payroll and bank accounts instead of requiring a manual upload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if I am self-employed, do I need extra documents?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Self-employed borrowers typically provide two years of federal tax returns in place of, or in addition to, pay stubs, since income is calculated from tax filings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I need the purchase contract before getting pre-approved?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Pre-approval only requires income, asset, and identity documents. The purchase contract is required once you move into full <a href=\"https:\/\/tomo.com\/blog\/how-long-does-mortgage-underwriting-take\/\" title=\"How long does mortgage underwriting take?\">underwriting<\/a> after an offer is accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does document verification take for an online mortgage? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It varies by lender and file complexity, but online lenders that connect directly to bank and payroll accounts typically verify documents faster than lenders relying entirely on manual uploads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background: #ddf5f4; padding: 24px 28px; margin: 32px 0; border-radius: 8px;\">\n  \n  <p style=\"font-family: 'Plus Jakarta Sans', sans-serif; font-weight: 600; font-size: 22px; color: #1a1a1a; margin: 0 0 12px 0; line-height: 1.3; text-align: left;\">\n    Ready to experience a different kind of lender?\n  <\/p>\n  \n  <p style=\"font-family: 'Plus Jakarta Sans', sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #2d2d2d; margin: 0 0 20px 0; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left;\">\n    Tomo was built without lender fees, which means our team&#8217;s success is measured by your closing.
