Savings Bonds:
If you have Savings Bonds, they are a financial
asset, too. Since you hold the actual bonds in
your possession, the easiest and best way to verify
them for your mortgage lender is to make photocopies
of them. If you choose to cash them in for down
payment or closing costs, you should do this at
your local bank. Be sure to keep copies of the
paperwork the bank provides because that will
establish the current value of the bonds and show
that you received their cash value.
