If you are in the market to buy a home, there are a number of things that you want to make sure that you do or don't do. It doesn't matter if you have the best credit in the world, a huge down payment, or anything else that makes you feel that you are 100% pre-approved. There are numerous things that can disqualify you from getting the mortgage.
The sad thing is that it is not uncommon for buyers to make a mistake the week of their closing and then lose out on their dream home. Almost every real estate agent I know has a story like this. So please make sure that you do everything below to maximize your chances of purchasing your dream home.
