The DO’s and DON’T’s when applying for a mortgage loan!
Protect your loan approval! Don’t jeopardize your mortgage loan approval with credit report changes or employment changes!
You may not be aware of new laws protecting your borrowing rights that require lenders to check your credit one more time before your loan closes.
Any recent changes to your credit report or employment changes could affect your loan approval!
DON’T make any expensive purchases or charge up your current credit
DON’T have ANYONE check or pull your credit report including yourself
DON’T apply for any type of credit, make sure you avoid all offers
DON’T move money between bank accounts without calling your loan officer first
DON’T open new accounts
DON’T close any current credit card accounts
DON’T deposit cash into your account or accept cash gifts (unless paper trailed!)
DON’T pay earnest money in cash or give it directly to seller
