DOs and DON'Ts

It is important be good candidates for loan approval both before applying and throughout the entire application process.  As a potential homebuyer or home loan applicant, here are things you can do to support your loan application and increase your potential for loan approval.

Things you should do:

  • Do talk with an experienced loan officer early in the process to review your credit history and to determine your home loan options.
  • Do prepare by having your income and current debt documentation ready. Your loan officer can help you decide the new home price range or loan option that fits your financial situation.
  • Do work with your loan officer to review your credit report and credit score, and make any corrections to inaccurate information.
  • Do continue paying all current debts as scheduled and on time, including your current mortgage or rent.
  • Do get pre-approved, it helps you to identify a home in your price range and provides assurance to sellers that you mean business.
  • Do delay all other loans or debt (auto, personal, credit card) until after you've closed on your new home loan.
  • Do talk with your insurance agent once you've identified a home to get a quote on the property.
  • Do contact your loan officer with any questions or if your financial situation changes in any way.
  • Do enjoy yourselves!  Finding and buying a home is fun!

Just as important, there are mistakes you can make during the loan process that could have a negative effect on your loan.  These mistake may result in a reduction in the amount of financing you qualify for, in a higher interest rate on your loan, or cause a lender to reject your loan application.  Be careful  to follow these suggestions.

Things to avoid:

  • Don't apply for new credit or loan, or allow your credit to be pulled by other creditors.
  • Don't transfer funds from one bank account to another.
  • Don't make any unusual deposits into your bank accounts, but do continue with normal payroll deposits.
  • Don't change banks or create negative balances or overdrafts on your bank accounts.
  • Don't change employers or start a new business.
  • Don't alter your current financial or debt situation - doing so may negatively affect home loan approval. (Talk to your loan officer if you have ANY questions about this one.)
  • Don't let the list of "Don'ts" worry you, together we can navigate the loan process successfully!
