DON'T...

• DON'T have your credit pulled numerous times (i.e. apply for a credit card, loans, co-sign for someone else, etc.).
• DON'T open or increase any liabilities, including credit cards, signature loans, etc., during the loan process. Please check with your loan officer for any documentation that will be required and what impact this would have on your qualification ratios.
• DON'T make major purchases during or prior to closing (i.e. new car, furniture, appliances, and electronics) because this might impact your qualification ratios. Please consult with your loan officer to have him/her calculate what your ratios would be with any additional debts.
• DON'T obtain and/or deposit sums of money over 1% of the loan (unless it is a normal paycheck) without notifying your loan officer. Guidelines require documentation of the source of these funds (i.e., copy of bonus check, copy of tax refund, copy of insurance settlement, gift letter with copy of check and deposit slips, etc.).
• DON'T open or close or transfer any asset accounts without inquiring about the proper documentation required for our loan file (i.e. if you transfer all the funds in your stock account to your savings account, documentation is required).
• DON'T obtain cash advances off your credit card(s).
• DON'T change jobs/employer without inquiring about the impact this change would have on the approval of your mortgage loan.
