HavingPhoto credit: Grandview Lending Inc. your home purchase offer accepted can feel like the last stop on the homeownership journey, but there are, in a fact, a few milestones left until your final destination.

In the time between having your offer accepted and closing on your new home, your mortgage application must be reviewed and approved.

Several roadblocks can appear at this point, slowing down the approval process and, in some cases, bringing it to a complete halt. Thankfully, these roadblocks to mortgage approval can be avoided with careful action and a little bit of patience.

While your mortgage application is being reviewed, these 10 common roadblocks to loan approval should be avoided.

  1. Buying a big-ticket item, like a car, a boat, or an expensive piece of furniture.
  2. Quit or switch your job.
  3. Open or close any lines of credit.
  4. Pay bills late.
  5. Ignore questions from your lender or mortgage broker.
  6. Let someone other than your lender or mortgage broker run a credit check on you.
  7. Make large bank deposits other than your paycheck.
  8. Co-sign another loan with anyone.
  9. Change bank accounts.
  10. Take out any payday advance loans.

Hitting any of these roadblocks (even if you’re pre-approved) will impact the kind of loan you qualify for by affecting your debt-to-income ratio, credit score, income, or closing timeline.

Contact your Jencor mortgage advisor as soon as possible if you anticipate encountering any of these barriers.

To make for the smoothest road to closing possible, bring your Jencor mortgage advisor on board early.
