ONE HUB. YOUR NEXT MOVE.
Choose your goal, see what to prepare, and speak with Redwood about the right next step.
Purchase & refinance
Compare purchase financing, a rate-and-term refinance, or a cash-out discussion. Conventional, FHA and VA options depend on borrower and property eligibility and lender availability.
This is a starting checklist. Your loan officer confirms the exact requirements. Keep identification and financial documents in the approved secure portal.
Review the payment, total closing costs, cash to close, and how long you expect to keep the loan. A lower payment alone does not establish savings.
Discuss my next step ↗Self-employed borrowers
Explore standard tax-return documentation alongside bank-statement or professionally prepared P&L options. Selected alternative-documentation programs may use bank statements instead of tax returns; availability requires a loan-officer review.
This is a starting checklist. Your loan officer confirms the exact requirements. Keep identification and financial documents in the approved secure portal.
An income-documentation alternative does not remove credit, asset, identity or property review. Your loan officer will confirm exactly which statements and supporting records are needed.
Discuss my next step ↗Rental-property financing
DSCR means debt service coverage ratio. Rental-property programs may evaluate rent against a lender-defined housing payment. Other investment programs may qualify using personal income.
This is a starting checklist. Your loan officer confirms the exact requirements. Keep identification and financial documents in the approved secure portal.
A simple discussion ratio is monthly rent divided by monthly principal, interest, taxes, insurance and association dues. Lenders may use different rent and payment definitions. A ratio of 1.00 in this illustration means rent equals those costs; it is not an approval threshold or net cash flow.

Discuss my next step ↗COMPARE THE INCOME APPROACH
| Path | What may support income review | What still needs review |
|---|---|---|
| Standard documentation | Pay records, tax returns and other income records appropriate to your situation | Income analysis, credit, assets, property and program requirements |
| Bank statements | Selected programs analyze eligible personal or business deposits and business expenses | Statement period, ownership, expenses, credit, assets and lender approval |
| Prepared P&L | Selected programs accept a professionally prepared profit-and-loss statement | Eligible preparer, reporting period, supporting records and lender-specific requirements |
| Investor DSCR | Eligible property rent compared with a lender-defined housing payment | Rental use, rent evidence, credit, equity, reserves and property eligibility |
These describe possible methods, not confirmed eligibility or a promise that a lender will waive documents. No personal financial details are entered into this comparison.
A website inquiry starts a conversation. An application, a preapproval and a lender commitment are different stages. A loan officer must review your scenario and explain the next step.
For covered consumer mortgages, documents are not a condition of receiving a Loan Estimate. Compare Loan Estimates using the same loan type and assumptions.
