Here are seven moves I want buyers to pause before closing:

1️⃣ Applying for new financing

2️⃣ Missing a payment

3️⃣ Closing a credit account

4️⃣ Making a large purchase

5️⃣ Cosigning for someone

6️⃣ Starting a new credit dispute

7️⃣ Moving balances in a way that changes the credit picture

Not every change ruins a loan.

The problem is making the change before your mortgage professional can explain how it may affect the file.

Save this list and keep the money picture boring until the keys are yours.
