Thinking about switching jobs while you're buying a home? Wait. 🛑🔑
Getting pre-approved isn't the finish line. Your lender can check your credit and job again right before closing, and one change can stop the deal.
Until you have the keys:
đźš« Don't open new loans or credit cards (yes, even for that new couch)
đźš« Don't quit or change jobs
đźš« Don't shop for homes above your pre-approval
Getting a promotion? Great 🎉 Moving to the same kind of job at a new company? Lenders usually accept that. Switching to a completely different line of work? That's when you could lose your pre-approval.
The rule is simple: do nothing, buy nothing, change nothing until you close. 🏡

📌 Save this for when you start house hunting, and share it with someone who's buying soon.
