What you ask for

The borrower documents every lender asks for

Lenders want income, assets and identity for each person on the loan. List it once per loan type, and borrowers see the whole list on day one.

Documents

  • Recent pay stubs for each applicant.
  • W-2s, or tax returns if self-employed.
  • Bank and retirement account statements.
  • Photo ID and any signed gift letter.

Information

  • Employers, start dates and any gaps in work.
  • Other debts: car loans, student loans and cards.
By loan type

Three borrower requests worth keeping on file

Build a request for each loan type you write most often. Each borrower then sees only the evidence their loan needs.

  • Salaried purchase

    Pay stubs, W-2s, bank statements, ID and the purchase contract.

  • Self-employed borrowers

    Personal and business returns, a year-to-date profit and loss, statements.

  • Refinance

    Mortgage statement, insurance, tax bill, income and ID.

The borrower’s view

Applicants upload from their phones, no login needed

Jordan Lee gets one link to the loan file, with a step for each applicant. Jordan uploads pay stubs at work and Sam adds a driver’s license photo from home. Progress is saved, so the bank statement can follow next week. For how requests work across any business, see document collection software.

Privacy and access

Borrower ID and statements, private from the start

Pay stubs, statements and ID for every applicant arrive through their own link.

  • A personal link for each request. Clients upload and answer without an account.

  • Private file storage. Uploads are kept in private storage with controlled access.

  • Reviewed from your account. Sign in to Lead Source to see and open every file.

  • Kept with the request. Statements, IDs and photos stay together with the request they answer.

Common questions

Questions mortgage brokers ask

Does Lead Source read or verify borrower documents?

No. It collects what borrowers upload. It does not read figures, verify income or check lender rules.

Can I collect a co-borrower’s documents in the same request?

Yes. Add a step for each applicant, so both sets of documents sit with one loan file.

Do borrowers need an account to upload pay stubs and bank statements?

No. Each borrower gets a personal link by email. A pay stub photographed on a phone works as well as a PDF.

Is this a loan origination system?

No. Lead Source collects borrower documents and answers. It does not process the loan, run underwriting or submit anything to lenders.
