Financing Dos and Dont's

  • DO pay your existing mortgage payments on time.

  • DO pay all recurring debt on time.  Your credit may be run again before close of escrow.

  • DON'T open a new credit line.

  • DON'T purchase new furniture.

  • DON'T purchase or lease a new automobile.  A car payment can greatly reduce a buyer's purchasing power for a home.  Don't buy the car.  Buy the house first!

     
  • DON'T transfer funds without consulting your loan officer.

  • DON'T change banks without consulting your loan officer.

  • DON'T rack up more debt on your credit cards.

  • DON'T change/quit your job before consulting your loan officer. (The lender may make a call just prior to funding your loan to make sure that you are still employed by the company on the loan application).
