A few rules to observe while you are waiting to close on your home – you might be aware of all or most of all, but I thought it would be a good idea to post them regardless.

Lenders will check your credit and employment hours before closing and will NOT fund your loan if there are any major changes. If you have any problems come up (i.e.. car breaks down and you HAVE to buy a new one) please contact your loan officer to discuss this. In fact, check with them for any major financial changes or decisions.
1. Do not change jobs, become self-employed, or quit your job.
2. Do not buy a car, truck, or van (or you may be living in it)!
3. Do not use credit cards excessively or let your accounts fall behind.
4. Do not spend money you have set aside for closing.
5. Do not omit debts or liabilities from your loan application.
6. Do not buy furniture.
7. Do not originate any inquiries into your credit.
8. Do not make large deposits without first checking with your loan officer. They’ll want to know where that money is coming from and you’ll have to prove it!
9. Do not change bank accounts.
10. Do not co-sign a loan for anyone.
