Inspired by the greatest rom-com of all time… but this one comes with a mortgage. 🏡💔
You found the house. Your offer was accepted. You’re already mentally decorating every room.
But until those keys are officially yours, keep your finances boring.
Opening a new credit card for furniture, financing a car, changing jobs, moving large amounts of money, or making another major financial change before closing could affect your loan approval.
The furniture can wait. The new car can wait. Getting to the closing table comes first. 🔑
And if you’re ever unsure whether something could affect your purchase? Ask your lender before making the move.
Save this for when you’re under contract, or send it to someone buying a home this year.
Thinking about buying in Lockport, Will County, or Southwest Chicagoland? I’ll help you navigate more than just finding the house. I’ll help you understand what happens from the search all the way to closing.
