It is SO important that you remember these guidelines after you make application for your mortgage and have been approved. I'm not trying to single out first time homebuyers. Everyone needs these reminders.
Don't change your employment status.
Don't make any major purchases (cars, furniture, home theater, vacations, etc.)
Don't increase your credit card debt or miss any payments.
Don't change bank accounts or make undisclosed large deposits.
Don't apply for a credit card, co-sign a loan or make a credit inquiry.
Don't spend money you have set aside for closing.
Don't delay in providing all paperwork asked for by your mortgage company.
