🏡 One thing that can quickly delay and complicate your home purchase? Buying a car. 🚗
It may seem completely separate, but a new car payment can affect your debt-to-income ratio, credit, and even your loan approval—yes, even after pre-approval.
Until you have those keys in hand, 🔑
hold off on the new car, new debt, or any major financial moves without checking with your lender first.
A little patience now can protect the bigger goal. 🤍
House first. Car second.
