Once your lender has taken a look at your finances during the homebuying process, it’s super important to keep things as steady as possible. Try not to make any big changes that could mess with your mortgage approval. A few good rules of thumb: don’t open or close any bank accounts, avoid applying for new credit, and here’s one that catches a lot of people off guard—hold off on buying furniture or appliances for your new place. The best advice? If you’re thinking about doing anything money-related, just check in with your lender first. It’ll save you a lot of headaches later!
