These are a things that actually happen so don’t laugh. Any one of these can kill your chances of closing, especially in this tighter credit market.

  • Don’t omit any liabilities or debts from your application.
  • Don’t make large deposits or withdrawals from you bank account without discussing this with your loan officer.
  • Don’t co-sign any loans for anyone, even your Momma!
  • Don’t change banks or close savings accounts.
  • Don’t let the money you have saved for closing tempt you to go on spending spree.
  • Don’t buy a car or other large purchase.
  • Don’t buy new furniture…Buy it after closing.
  • Don’t overuse your credit cards or get behind in payments.
  • Don’t open new credit accounts - this originates inquiries to your credit.
  • And for heavens sake Don’t quit or change jobs or become self-employed.

There are lenders in this market with money to lend. You need good credit to qualify, just like old times.
