Documentation for Loan on Principal Residence

[Guest moore63]

What documentation is necessary for a loan that is to be used for the purchase of a principal residence w/a repayment period of 15 years? Would a signed statement from the applicant be sufficient?

Thanks!

How about the contract for purchase for the house?

How about writng the check to the escrow agent/title company? That should be standard practice when the payment is from a hardship distribution.
