When they want this and that, it means that your file is marginal and they are beefing it up...

 

On my most recent journey, the FHA Streamline Refi...  All they needed was most recent paystubs, and bank account statements, along with a letter of explanation for deposits and where they came from.

 

That part was easy because my deposits had come from expense reimbursements, rent received from tenants of the subject property, and normal payroll. 

 

I also got a settlement from my insurance for a vehicle which was owned free and clear.  The vehicle was involved in a collision, and was declared a total loss while in the underwriting process.  The payout was $13k, so I had to write a standalone letter and provide documentation from the claim.

I also had to sign a document stating that I wasn't using my investment property for Transient Use...   which means that my leases must be for terms exceeding 30 days.

My wife wasn't on the loan but we have a joint checking account and she lost her job during the whole process and she had to fill out gift letter for her unemployment benefits for me. Oh and I made the mistake of putting 1k in cash in the bank, yeah don't deposit cash.
