Don't go on a spending spree using credit if you
are thinking about buying a home, or in the process of buying a new home.
Your mortgage pre-approval is subject to a final evaluation of your
financial situation.
Every $100 you pay per month on a credit payment could cost your about
$10,000 in home eligibility. For example, a car payment of $300/month could
mean that you qualify for $30,000 less in a mortgage.
Even if you have accumulated enough savings, you should consider not making
any large purchases until after closing. The last thing you want is to know
that you could have purchased a new home had you curbed the urge to spend.
