4 credit card accounts were all 30 days late just before closing!\u00a0 The answer we received when brought up\u00a0was &#8220;When we had to pay the $500 deposit on the purchase contract, we had to decide not to pay something so we could get the house&#8221;.\u00a0 So keep in mind, if you have to skip payments on bills to afford the earnest money deposit, it is not the right time for you to buy a house.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t go car shopping, it can wait!<\/strong>\u00a0 This happens the most of any of these No-No&#8217;s when the instant gratification of buying a new car steps in.\u00a0 Even if you are buying a new car that has a lower payment, make sure you talk to your mortgage lender first because one more credit inquiry could make your score go from a 640 to a 635.\u00a0\u00a0Then there is a\u00a0potential turn down on a USDA loan for instance.\u00a0 Believe it or not, the borrower in # 1 above also got 2, yes 2, new car loans in the mortgage process.\u00a0 One was for the daughter and the answer was\u00a0&#8220;but the daughter will make the payments&#8221;.\u00a0 That doesn&#8217;t matter!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t hide or forget to mention debts such as IRS or State Income Tax payment plans to your loan officer.<\/strong>\u00a0 These will be found out from the bank statements being reviewed later in the process.\u00a0 So make sure that you mention these type of things early in the process.\u00a0 An extra $300 in payments\u00a0could cause a debt ratio to be too high for qualifying.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t co-sign on new accounts!<\/strong>\u00a0 Many think that co-signing on a new car or other type of loan will not factor in the borrower&#8217;s debt ratio.\u00a0\u00a0&#8220;I&#8217;m only a co-signor and the other person will be making the payments&#8221;.\u00a0 Always\u00a0keep the following in mind:\u00a0\u00a0You are still on the hook just as much as the primary borrower.\u00a0\u00a0If the borrower is late or in default on the payments, it shows on your credit just the same.\u00a0\u00a0The debt will be counted in your debt ratio.\u00a0 If you have co-signed with someone and can provide the promissory note listing you as a co-signor, plus\u00a012 month&#8217;s proof that the other person paid the creditor directly, it can often be excluded from your mortgage debt ratio.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t turn in your car!<\/strong>\u00a0 Some people think that letting a car go back voluntarily is ok, but whether you give it back or the company takes the car, it is reported as a repossession.\u00a0\u00a0Additionally,\u00a0if the car is sold for lower than the balance, which it often is, you will owe a collection balance.\u00a0 This has happened a\u00a0few times that we can recall over our 21 years in the mortgage business but many misunderstand turning a car in, so that is why this is mentioned.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We hope that this will save at least one purchase from being denied.\u00a0 No borrower or mortgage lender can error-proof a mortgage loan process.\u00a0 But hopefully these examples will\u00a0help you remember to ask questions before you do something.\u00a0 We don&#8217;t mind answering questions.\u00a0\u00a0It is better to ask and it be no big deal, than not asking.\u00a0\u00a0Not asking could kill your home purchase.\u00a0 <strong>So remember, boring and Steady Eddie is better!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[av_button_big label=&#8217;Contact Team Move to Qualify For Your Mortgage Today&#8217;
