The Dos & Don’ts of Applying for a Mortgage in Kentucky DO  maintain up-to-date records  The mortgage application process is paperwork-heavy, and lenders could ask you to pull up records at a moment’s notice.

😳😲👎👎👎👎👎 These tips will keep you on the right track both during the prequalification phase and right before the loan process begins. Do not apply for new credit It’s not uncommon to get invitations to apply for lines of credit.  Just don’t respond to these offers ­ no matter how good it sounds.  Why?  If you do apply for new credit, the creditor will pull your credit.  This inquiry can potentially lower your credit score.

Too many times do I get the call that my lease ends in 2 months...
