Avoid these common pitfalls
- 1 Don’t change jobs or become self-employed
- 2 Don’t buy a car, truck, or van unless you plan to live in it
- 3 Don’t let your credit card payments fall behind
- 4 Don’t spend the money you have saved for your down payment
- 5 Don’t let anyone else check your credit score
- 6 Don’t make any large deposits other than your paycheck
- 7 Don’t change bank accounts
- 8 Don’t co-sign for anyone
- 9 Don’t increase balances on any credit cards
Bonus tip: Last but not least don’t buy the furniture just yet. We must verify your credit
and employment prior to closing and that report will show if you have incurred any
more debt which could affect your ability to close the loan.
