If homeownership is on your radar for next year, make sure you’re setting yourself up for success!

Avoid these common missteps that could make getting approved for a mortgage more challenging:

❌ Switching careers → A major job change could raise red flags, especially if it affects your income or industry.
❌ Ignoring your credit score → Your credit health plays a huge role in mortgage approval and interest rates. Keep an eye on it and make sure you’re making on-time payments!
❌ Taking on new debt → Financing a new car or racking up credit card balances can impact your debt-to-income ratio, which affects how much home you can afford.
❌ Draining your savings → You’ll need funds for a down payment, closing costs, and unexpected expenses. Keep building that cushion!
❌ Making big purchases before closing → Even after you’re pre-approved, avoid large expenses that could impact your financial picture.

Is your lease ending soon? Here’s what you need to know ↓

If you’re thinking about buying a home when your lease is up, timing is everything- especially when it comes to your first mortgage payment.

Unlike rent, your first mortgage payment isn’t due *right away* after closing. Instead, it’s typically due on the first of the month after you’ve been in your home for a full month.

For example…

◽️Closing in April? First payment is due June 1st!
◽️Close in August? First payment is due October 1st!

This little timing gap can give you some breathing room, help with budgeting, and make your transition from renting to owning even smoother 🙌🏻

If your lease is ending soon and you’re wondering how to plan your next move, let’s chat! I’d love to help you figure out the best timeline for YOU 🤍
